India, Bengaluru: Hitachi Energy India Limited has been awarded a contract by NTPC REL to supply power transformers for its renewables park in Gujarat.
The upcoming 4.75 GW renewable energy park is part of India’s largest solar park. Spread over 72,600 hectares in Kutch, this solar park supports the country’s efforts towards carbon-neutral future with its increasing green energy footprint. NTPC REL is a wholly owned subsidiary of the power giant, NTPC LTD.
As part of this project, Hitachi Energy will provide ten 315 MVA 400/33/33 kV transformers manufactured at its factory in Vadodara. These will be the largest-rating transformers used by solar power evacuation so far.
“The transition from fossil fuels to renewables has only just begun and we are proud to be part of this ambitious project by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited,” said N. Venu, Managing Director and CEO of Hitachi Energy in India and South Asia. “Hitachi Energy is championing the urgency of the energy transition by pioneering technologies to help accelerate a carbon-neutral future.”
India is progressively moving towards building a carbon-neutral future with an ambitious target to achieve net zero emissions by 2070 and to meet half of the electricity requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030.
