A consortium of Hitachi Energy India Ltd and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has been awarded a major contract by Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission Ltd, an arm of Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL). The contract will see the consortium design and deliver high-voltage direct current (HVDC) terminals to transmit renewable energy from the Bhadla area of Rajasthan to the industrial and transport hub in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. The 6 GW, 950 km HVDC link can power around 60 million households in India.
“The 6,000 MW, ±800 kV bi-pole and bi-directional HVDC terminals are part of the transmission system to transfer power from the potential renewable energy zone in the Bhadla area of Rajasthan under Phase-III Part I, which was awarded to AESL based on tariff-based competitive bidding. This HVDC link crosses 950 km and feeds into the country’s 500 GW renewable evacuation and interstate transmission system,” stated Hitachi Energy India.
The project scope includes converter transformers, AC/DC control and protection, thyristor valves, 765 kV/400 kV grid connections, and auxiliary systems to be delivered by Hitachi Energy India Ltd and its consortium partner BHEL.
Hitachi Energy’s product and solution portfolio includes transformers, switchgear, power transmission systems, power quality, and grid automation. Hitachi Energy India recently completed the fund raising of INR 2,520.82 crores through Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The issue proceeds are proposed to be deployed in capacity expansions, working capital including for mega projects, and other avenues to accelerate growth in its India operations.
