The order is significant in size and scope. It will support India’s renewable energy goals by improving the transmission infrastructure required to integrate solar and wind power into the national grid.
BHEL consortium receives HVDC Project for RE Transmission Project in UP and Rajasthan
Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission Limited, a special-purpose company under Adani Energy Solutions Limited, has sent a Letter of Intent (LOI) to State-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).
A consortium comprising BHEL and Hitachi Energy India Limited (HEIL) has been given the letter of intent (LOI) to design and build a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) connection and related AC substations.
This project aims to facilitate the transmission of renewable energy between Bhadla III in Rajasthan and Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh. The project's formal contract will be executed later. A domestic company issued the order, which calls for the construction of two 6,000 MW HVDC Line-Commutated Converter (LCC) terminal stations.
The project includes a +800 kV HVDC LCC terminal station, composed of four units of 1,500 MW each, at Bhadla III and Fatehpur. Additionally, associated AC substations will be developed as part of the project. The entire project is expected to be completed by the year 2030.
The order is significant in size and scope. It will support India’s renewable energy goals by improving the transmission infrastructure required to integrate solar and wind power into the national grid.
This project will strengthen the power transmission network, ensuring the efficient delivery of electricity generated from renewable sources in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh to the required demand centers.
