The newly constructed lines will play a significant and effective role in transmitting electricity to the national grid, which will increase the grid's capacity, according to industry insiders.
The lengths of the Karerhat-Chaumuhani, Chaumuhani-Kochua, and Chaumuhani-Maizdi lines are 53 kilometres, 50 km, and 20 km, respectively.
The new lines were constructed under PGCB's project titled "Expansion and Augmentation of Eastern Grid Network." The project was jointly financed by the development partner World Bank, the Bangladesh government and PGCB.
