Distribution
In order to
distribute power to a 567 Sq-km metropolitan area of Calcutta/Howrah. CESC has
to maintain a large distribution network. The network includes submarine cables
as also cable laid through a tunnel (completed in 1931) under the River
Hooghly, which was a technological wonder of its time. The tunnel links the Southern Generating Station on the east
bank of the river to the Botanical Gardens on the west bank. It is a 690-yard
tunnel, 6 feet in diameter and 90 feet below ground level, transferring power
in bulk from WBSEB.
