India’s largest power transmission company, the state-owned Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), recently shared details of large transmission projects worth $1.8 billion to be executed in the western states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan.
The proposed transmission projects are aimed to support wind and solar power projects with a combined installed capacity of 25.4 gigawatts across the three states, reports Clean Technica.
The transmission projects are part of the Green Energy Corridors, a much larger plan envisaged to support the massive renewable energy capacity addition targets announced by the Indian government – to have 100 gigawatts of solar power and 60 gigawatts of wind energy capacity operational by March 2022.
