Adani's Karur Transmission Project Paves Way For 2500 MW Of Green Power
Indian power transmission company Adani Energy Solutions has announced the successful commissioning of the Karur Transmission (KTL) project, which includes the establishment of the 400/230 kV, 1000 MVA Karur Pooling Station and an associated transmission line spanning 8.51 circuit kilometres (CKM) in Tamil Nadu.
With a transformation capacity of 1,000 MVA, this project will facilitate the evacuation of power from renewable sources in the Karur/Tiruppur Wind Energy Zone, according to a statement from the company.
Additionally, it will strengthen the Southern Regional Grid and support the integration of renewable energy sources on a large scale, it added.
The Karur/Tiruppur Wind Energy Zone is a wind corridor in Tamil Nadu, with capacities in wind energy and several under-construction wind farms. AESL was given this project to ensure the smooth evacuation of up to 2500 MW of green power produced in the region.
This project aligns with India's decarbonisation goals, supporting the country's aim to achieve 500 GW of green energy by 2030. It will provide industrial, commercial, and residential consumers with enhanced access to reliable and clean energy.
AESL secured this project through the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route in December 2021 for a period of 35 years, covering the build, own, operate, and maintain basis.
