These acquisitions mark a significant step forward in the Transmission System Projects designed for the evacuation of power from the Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) in Rajasthan, targeting an impressive 20 GW capacity under Phase-III, Part C1, and Part H.
POWERGRID emerged as the successful bidder in a tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) process, outpacing various private sector players.
Ramgarh II Transmission Limited is tasked with implementing a comprehensive transmission system, including a new 765/400kV sub-station at Ramgarh, a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) at Ramgarh, a 765kV D/C transmission line, and associated bay extension works at the existing sub-station (Bhadla-III) in Rajasthan.
The sub-station and transmission line components are set to be commissioned in 18 months, with the STATCOM expected to be operational within 24 months. This project aims to facilitate the evacuation of 2.9 GW of renewable energy from the Ramgarh complex, distributing power to various beneficiaries on the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) network.
Simultaneously, Beawar Dausa Transmission Limited involves the establishment of a new 765/400kV sub-station near Dausa, along with 400kV and 765kV D/C transmission lines traversing Rajasthan and associated bay extension works. This Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) project is scheduled to be commissioned within 18 months.
The primary objective is to facilitate the evacuation of 9.1 GW of renewable energy from the Fatehgarh complex through Fatehgarh-3 PS and Beawar S/S, enabling the onward distribution of power to various beneficiaries on the ISTS network.
In aggregate, these two projects are poised to contribute significantly to the evacuation of an impressive 12 GW of solar power through state-of-the-art transmission lines in the state of Rajasthan. POWERGRID's strategic acquisitions align seamlessly with the Government of India's vision of achieving a 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030.
