India, Karnataka: GE’s Grid Solutions business announced it has been awarded a contract by ReNew Power Pvt Ltd to build two 400 kV substations in Karnataka.
The contract was awarded related to the Narendra-Koppal power transmission scheme that ReNew Power is developing under the TBCB route.
The contract involves construction of a 400/220 kV air-insulated substation at Koppal, a 400 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) substation at Narendra, and two 125 MVAR 400 kV reactors for each of the above-mentioned substations.
This is GE’s Grid Solutions business’ third substation project with ReNew Power, GE said.
GE’s multi-million dollar contract with ReNew Power is part of the Narendra-Koppal transmission scheme. The scheme in turn is part of the planned interstate-based evacuation infrastructure that will create 66.5 GW of renewable energy zones in India. The Narendra-Koppal project, involving the evacuation of 2.5 GW from wind energy zones in Karnataka, is part of the first of three phases of the overall project.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of PFC Consulting Limited, Koppal-Narendra Transmission Ltd, was incorporated in November 2019 for the development of a transmission scheme officially designated as “Evacuation of power from RE sources in Koppal Wind Energy Zones (Karnataka) (2,500 MW)”.
The project was awarded to ReNew Power under the tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) modality.
