The bidding course of for transmission strains in three photo voltaic power zones in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh (AP) with a capability of 6 gigawatts (GW) will probably be resumed quickly.
The choice was made throughout a gathering of the Nationwide Committee on Transmission (NCT) final month. Of the three transmission schemes, two are for the photo voltaic power park in Anantapur and Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh, whereas the opposite is for the photo voltaic power park in Bidar, Karnataka.
The photo voltaic power zone in Bidar has a capability of two.5 GW, whereas the photo voltaic power zones in Ananthapuram (previously Anantapur) and Kurnool have a capability of two.5 GW and 1 GW, respectively.
Throughout the NCT assembly, it was introduced that deliberations have been held on November 3 between the Ministry of New & Renewable Vitality (MNRE) Central Transmission Utility of India (CTUIL), Photo voltaic Vitality Company of India (SECI) and the Bid Course of Coordinator. (BPC) to proceed the bidding course of.
After the assembly of the 4 events, the BPC was ordered to proceed the bidding course of for the transmission initiatives within the three places.
New transmission scheme
Throughout the NCT assembly, CTUIL introduced that out of the recognized 86 GW of renewable power (RE) potential within the southern area, about 17 GW has been recognized in Karnataka.
MNRE has indicated that out of 17 GW RE zones (REZ) potential in Karnataka, transmission techniques for displacement capability of about 10.5 GW capability could be recognized because of Vitality Storage System (ESS).
Whereas Koppal, Gadag and Davangere/Chitradurga have a RE capability potential of 4 GW every (2 GW photo voltaic and a couple of GW wind), Bijapur has a wind power potential of two GW. In addition to, Bellary and Tumkur have photo voltaic power potential for 1.5 GW every.
CTUIL mentioned {that a} complete transmission system has been recognized for speedy integration and evacuation of RE potential in these districts.
It has proposed a transmission scheme for integration of REZ (Part-II) with Koppal-II (Part-A) and Gadag-II (Part-A) in Karnataka with a tentative value of ₹2,564 crore.
The utility defined that through the system research carried out for the mixing and speedy evacuation of further RE potential of two GW every in Koppal and Gadag, 1 GW (in 5 hours) BESS every in Koppal-II and Gadag-II are thought-about.
The required land for the development of BESS is beneath the jurisdiction of the BESS implementing company. In addition to, energy from different RE zones in Karnataka—Gadag-II, Davangere, Bijapur and Bellary space (about 181.5 GW RE capability addition by 2030)—will probably be gathered at Koppal-II PS for additional displacement.
