closed

Information Indigrid has come up with Transmission System for evacuation of power from RE Projects in Osmanabad area [1 GW] in Maharashtra with a ticket size of 282 INR Crores. This project in Electricity Transmission sub-sector involves The current status of the project is Work Start - Appointed Date and is being developed through the PPP route. Economic/Social Impact of the Project Govt. of India has set a target for establishing 175 GW renewable capacity by 2022 which includes 100 GW Solar, 60 GW Wind generation capacity. MNRE vide its order dated 08.06.2018 had constituted a Sub-Committee to identify ISTS connectivity for renewable energy projects from potential solar energy zones [SEZs] and potential wind energy zones [WEZs] of about 50 GW and 16.5 GW respectively. Accordingly, SEZs and WEZs envisaged in 7 RE rich states [Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh] were identified by SECI in association with MNRE in consultation with RE power developers. A total of 28 GW RE capacity has been identified in Western Region out of which 2 GW Wind generation capacity has been identified in Osmanabad area in Maharashtra. Out of this, 1 GW has been proposed to be integrated with Intra-state system and the balance 1 GW with ISTS. Transmission System for Renewable Energy Zones [REZs] in Western Region [including Osmanabad Wind energy zone[WEZ]] was finalised in the 2nd WRSCT meeting held on 21.05.2019. The subject scheme will enable integration of 1 GW WEZ in Osmanabad area with the ISTS grid. The details of transmission planned specifically for Osmanabad WEZ is depicted below- a] Establishment of 2x500MVA, 400/220kV near Kallam PS b] 1x125MVAr bus reactor at Kallam PS c] LILO of both circuits of Parli[PG] - Pune[GIS] 400kV D/c line at Kallam PS d] Provision of new 50MVAr switchable line reactor at Kallam PS end of Kallam - Pune[GIS] 400kV D/c line e] Conversion of 50MVAr fixed Line Reactors on each ckt pf Parli [PG] - Pune [GIS] 400kV D/c line at Parli [PG] end into switchable line reactors
