Power in Kolkata
Distribution in Kolkata is handled by WBSEDCL / CESC. Large loads usually connect at 66–220 kV.
Steps to confirm power
- Confirm the nearest 66/132/220 kV substation and its spare transformer capacity.
- Ask the utility for the feeder route, right-of-way needs and an indicative connection timeline.
- Check whether a dedicated substation inside the campus is feasible for later phases.
- Review open-access and green-power options for renewable energy targets.
- Plan backup: N+1 or 2N generator yards and fuel storage need extra land.
