The power department on Saturday energised a load of 50000 kW or 50 MVA (in the district and the state) to Korean electronics major Samsung in Sector 81.
This is the highest-ever load capacity supplied to a company in the state. Spread across 60 acres, the Samsung outlet is all set to begin production of mobile phones from its expanded facility in Noida this year. To facilitate this, an independent line power connection was provided to the company from 220 kV substation in Sector 129.
“This is the highest load capacity that we’ve given to any company/industry in the district or the state. We expect revenue generation as well as employment opportunities for the youth of the state as well as district Gautam Budh Nagar with the company’s production,” A K Singh, superintending engineer, PVVNL, told TOI.
The company plans to double its output by 2020. The global electronics major, which has made its largest investment of reportedly Rs 5,000 crores in India in expanding this manufacturing plant will also assemble printed circuit boards (PCBs) in this facility that would be its exports base in the future.
