Sterlite Power secures second green energy transmission project in Rajasthan

Sterlite Power, it has received the order for the Part F Transmission project for Rajasthan Phase-III (20GW). This is Sterlite Power's second foray into transmission projects for green energy in Rajasthan. "Sterlite Power received the Letter of Intent (LoI) from REC Power Development and Consultancy Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rural Electricity Corp., to build the project on a BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer) basis, for a period of 35 years,".

Three crucial elements that together will completely reshape Rajasthan's green energy landscape are included in the phase III, part F project. First, a strong 350 km (765 kV) transmission route will connect Fatehgarh III's renewable energy zone to the Beawar substation. The second component of the project is the development of a modern 3000 MVA 765/400kV Substation in Beawar. Last but not least, it entails the construction of two 120 km long Longitudinally In-Line-Out (LILO) lines.

The project will also include the installation of a static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) system at the Fatehgarh III substation, a ground-breaking achievement that would make Sterlite Power the first commercial provider of transmission infrastructure in India.

"We are overjoyed to have won our second project for a green energy corridor in Rajasthan. It is true that the creation of these essential renewable infrastructure resources represents a huge step forward for India's renewable energy objectives. According to Pratik Agarwal, managing director of Sterlite Power, "We are ready to deliver world-class assets and support the nation's march towards a greener future."

Fatehgarh III Beawar Transmission Ltd., part G of the project, was awarded to Sterlite Power in March 2023. It will involve building a 700 km transmission line together with section F, which will allow for the evacuation of a sizeable share of 20 GW of green power from renewable energy zones in Fatehgarh (9.1 GW), Bhadla (8 GW), and Ramgarh (2.9 GW). When it is finished, this corridor will rank among the biggest green energy corridors ever constructed in the nation.

With 32 projects that have been completed, sold, or are now under construction, totaling about 15,350 circuit kilometres of transmission lines spanning Brazil and India, Sterlite Power is a top developer and solutions provider of power transmission infrastructure in the private sector.
