The National Committee on Transmission (NCT), in its 25th meeting, recommended the tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) route with PFC Consulting Limited (PFCCL) as the bid process coordinator (BPC) for the Transmission system for proposed Green Hydrogen / Green Ammonia projects in Kakinada area (Phase-I).
The transmission scheme comprises the establishment of a 765/400 kV substation with 3×1500 MVA transformers and a 240 MVAr bus reactor. LILO (Line-In-Line-Out) of the existing 765 kV Srikakulam-Vemagiri D/C line at the Kakinada substation will enhance transmission capability.
The project will be implemented at Rs 161.85 billion in 24 months from the date of SPV transfer.
