Jyoti Structures commissions 400 kV Gadag–II transmission line in Karnataka

Jyoti Structures Limited has completed and commissioned the 400 kV Gadag–II transmission line project in Karnataka for ReNew Power. The project forms part of an interstate transmission system developed to evacuate renewable energy from the Koppal Solar Energy Zone.

The project includes 100 circuit kilometres (ckm) of twin High Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) transmission lines connecting the Gadag Power Station and the Koppal Power Station. The line passes through the districts of Gadag and Koppal. According to the company, the project team executed the work under challenging conditions, including difficult interior terrain, right-of-way (RoW) constraints and complex soil conditions such as stretches of black cotton soil.

The transmission system is designed to support evacuation of renewable energy from the Koppal Solar Energy Zone, which has an estimated generation capacity of 1,500 MW. The project has been implemented on a Build, Own, Operate and Maintain (BOOM) basis to facilitate the transfer of renewable power from the region to the national grid.

Rajesh Kumar Singh, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Jyoti Structures Limited, said the project was completed through sustained efforts by the company’s project teams despite the challenging construction environment. He added that the commissioning follows the successful charging of the Torrent project and represents the second project delivered by the company within a fortnight.

The commissioning is expected to strengthen grid connectivity for renewable energy projects in the region and support the evacuation of solar power generated in the Koppal Solar Energy Zone. Transmission infrastructure plays a key role in enabling the delivery of renewable energy from generation zones to demand centres while supporting grid stability.
