Apraava Energy has secured an interstate transmission project in Rajasthan through the tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) process. The project involves the construction of approximately 200 km of 400 kV and 765 kV transmission lines, along with a pooling station, to facilitate the evacuation of 5.5 GW of renewable energy from Rajasthan’s Renewable Energy Zone Phase IV.
Located in the Jaisalmer and Barmer regions, the project will play a key role in India’s renewable energy goals. The pooling station will feature a 765/400 kV, 4×1500 MVA and 400/220 kV, 5×500 MVA setup, boosting the region’s transmission capacity. Developed under the build, own, operate, and transfer (BOOT) model, the project will be managed by a special purpose vehicle (SPV) handed over to Apraava by REC Power Development and Consultancy.
As per the transmission service agreement (TSA), Apraava will provide transmission services for 35 years after the project becomes operational. The construction phase is expected to create over 1,000 direct and indirect jobs, with further opportunities during its operational phase.
In addition to this project, Apraava Energy manages three wind energy projects totalling over 250 MW and will soon begin construction on three solar energy projects with a combined capacity of 600 MW in Rajasthan.
