GR Infraprojects wins transmission project for 2.5 GW REZ in Madhya Pradesh

G R Infraprojects Limited has been awarded a transmission project by REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited for evacuating power from renewable energy projects in Madhya Pradesh. The project is titled “Transmission system for Evacuation of Power from RE Projects in Rajgarh (1500 MW) SEZ in Madhya Pradesh-Phase III and Evacuation of Power from RE Projects in Neemuch (1000 MW) SEZ in Madhya Pradesh-Phase II.”

The scope of work includes the establishment of a 2×500 MVA, 400/220 kV substation at Handiya, along with two 125 MVAr, 420 kV bus reactors. At the Neemuch power station, a new 220 kV Bus Section-II will be developed, with added transformation capacity through three 500 MVA, 400/220 kV interconnecting transformers. The plan also involves constructing four 220 kV line bays to enable renewable energy integration.

Additional works include setting up a 220 kV line bay for Purvah Green Power and a 1×125 MVAr, 420 kV bus reactor at Pachora power station. The project further covers four 400 kV line bays, with two each at Rajgarh and Pachora, along with four 420 kV switchable line reactors split equally across the two sites, and the associated switching equipment.

Earlier this month, REC Power Development and Consultancy released the list of technically qualified bidders for the Neemuch and Rajgarh transmission schemes, which included Power Grid Corporation of India, Adani Energy Solutions, Resonia (formerly Sterlite Grid 32), Dilip Buildcon, HG Infra Engineering, PNC Infratech, and Enerica Infra, in addition to GR Infraprojects.
