New power lines to Sompeta
Sompeta
Sompeta area is getting new power lines - said AP Transco DE V Krishna. The presently running power lines that drive electricity to Sompeta were over 5 decades old and the newly proposed lines will drive power from 133 KV Substation from Itchapuram. The cost of the works is at around Rs. 11.7 Crores.

Once the new lines are laid, the power interruptions will come to a low. At present only 3 lines are drawing power from Palasa-Itchapuram spreading at a distance of 67 kilometers.
