New Delhi: Sterlite Power on Friday said that it has bagged a green energy transmission project in Rajasthan. The project was won by the company through tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) process, it said in a statement. Sterlite Power received the Letter of Intent (LoI) from PFC Consulting Ltd to build the project on BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer) basis, for a period of 35 years.
Sterlite Power has been awarded the transmission project for the evacuation of power from renewable energy zones in Fatehgarh (9.1 GW), Bhadla (8 GW) and Ramgarh (2.9 GW) areas in Rajasthan. The entire transmission system forms a critical part of the roadmap released by the Ministry of Power in 2022 for the integration of over 500 GW RE capacity to the national grid by 2030. The project will involve construction of a 350 kilometre, 765kV transmission corridor from Fatehgarh III to Beawar in Rajasthan.
