Lahore: The Lahore Electric Supply Company has decided to construct a dedicated grid station for Gulberg to meet the neighbourhood’s power supply needs, according to a news source. In this regard, LESCO has asked for 10 kanals of land.
For land acquisition, Lahore’s deputy commissioner has already sent an application requesting the authorities concerned to transfer land to LESCO so that construction of the grid station can begin right away.
Due to increased commercialisation in Gulberg, the demand for power supply has lately increased. At the moment, the commercial hub gets power supply from grid stations in Garden Town and Rehman Park and these grid stations cannot bear any more load to meet the electricity demand of Gulberg.
