TPCODL Strengthens Odisha’s Power Network with Inauguration of APSCC-BBSR-2 Circle in Puri

Bhubaneswar, 5^th September: TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL), a joint venture of Tata Power and Government of Odisha, has taken another significant step in strengthening the state’s power distribution network with the inauguration of the new Area Power System Control Centre (APSCC-BBSR-2) at Talabania, Puri.

The facility was inaugurated by Shri Sunil Kumar Mohanty, Hon’ble MLA, Puri, in the presence of Shri Arvind Singh, CEO, TPCODL, along with members of the senior leadership team.

The launch of APSCC-BBSR-2 Circle marks a major milestone in modernising distribution operations and enhancing consumer services. By centralising 11 kV operations, previously managed through decentralised divisional APSCCs, the new centre enables better monitoring of power distribution, faster response to outages and more efficient handling of consumer service requirements. All remote- and locally-operated PSS under the BBSR-2 Circle will now be progressively integrated into control through this APSCC.

Equipped with advanced technology and real-time monitoring systems, APSCC-BBSR-2 Circle will significantly strengthen operational efficiency. The facility will allow for improved visibility of the distribution network, enabling better planning, quicker restoration during interruptions and enhanced reliability of supply. Consumers across Khordha, Puri, Nayagarh and Balugaon divisions will directly benefit from more consistent and dependable power services.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Arvind Singh, CEO, TPCODL, said: “The inauguration of APSCC-BBSR-2 Circle is a significant step towards strengthening our distribution network and enhancing consumer services. By adopting advanced technology, we are not only improving operational efficiency but also ensuring safe, reliable and consumer-centric electricity supply across our regions.”

The new APSCC also reflects TPCODL’s commitment to its Lakshya of achieving the highest standards of operational excellence, safety and reliability. With this initiative, TPCODL reinforces its dedication to delivering uninterrupted, safe, reliable and consumer focused electricity services.
