Sterlite Power stated that it has commissioned its green energy corridor project – Lakadia-Vadodara Transmission Project Ltd – in Gujarat, which seeks to deliver over 5,000 MW renewable energy from Bhuj and Kutch to the national grid.
A 335 km long 765 kV double-circuit transmission line connecting the 765/400 kV substation at Lakadia to Vadodara was constructed at an investment of 2,024 crore.
“With 812 towers spanning seven districts in Gujarat, this power transmission corridor is also one of the largest transmission corridors built in India till date,” said a media release.
The project, it continued, is a vital component of Kutch’s proposed construction of the largest 30,000-MW hybrid renewable energy plant in the world.
“It has been a challenging journey, but we have been successful in unlocking 5000 MW of green power for the nation that will accelerate India’s RE vision of 500GW by 2030,” said Pratik Agarwal, Managing Director, Sterlite Power.
Sterlite Power is a leading power transmission infrastructure developer and solutions provider with projects spanning 14,602 circuit kilometers in India and Brazil.
