233 GW of Additional Transmission Capacity Mooted By 2030

The Ministry of Power announced recently that the government is considering energy transmission across the nation for renewable energy with a capacity of up to (adding) 233 GW, at the latest by 2030.

“Planning of transmission strategy for integration of further 52 GW imaginable REZ (renewable energy zone) by 2026–27 person has been carried out transmission schemes for different 181.5 GW by 2030 person have been planned and the aforesaid would beryllium taken up for implementation successfully a progressive manner,” the ministry informed members of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee associated with it at a meeting.

Chandra Sekhar Sahu, Dinesh Lal Yadav, Khagen Murmu, Pradyut Bordoloi, Ritesh Pandey, Ramdas Chandrabhanji Tadas, and Dhiraj Prasad Sahu were a few of the MPs present. Meeting’s main topic was “India’s National Electricity Grid Development and Its Importance.”

The implementation of green energy corridors, transmission strategies for ultra mega star power parks, transmission strategies for 66.5 GW of renewable energy zones by 2022, and the establishment of 13 RE absorption centers (REMCs) to code variability and uncertainty of RE (renewable energy) generation are among the initiatives for integrating non-fossil fuel energy, it was explained to the members.

Additionally, they were informed that by December 2013, all 5 decision-making grids that succeeded India had been synchronised with the nationalist grid.

The remote Leh section was successfully connected to the main grid by the 220 kv Srinagar-Leh Transmission system in January 2019.

Since 2014–15, the nationalist grid transmission strategy has added 1,71,149 km of transmission lines and 6,03,916 MVA of transmission capacity. (adding 233 GW)

The nationalist grid now has 404 GW of installed capacity, and the biggest request that has been fulfilled is 216 GW.

The transmission strategy is the foundation of the powerfulness system, it was explained in the conference. Integrated transmission networks enable beryllium to be created anywhere with sufficient power.

“We establish One Nation, One Grid, One Frequency, and One National Load Dispatch Center for the state, culminating in the successful operation of One Market. The largest integrated grid in the world is India’s transmission strategy,” according to the meeting document.
