REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited (RECPDCL), a subsidiary of REC Limited under the Ministry of Power, has handed over the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), Rajasthan IV-A Power Transmission Limited, to Apraava Energy Private Limited (AEPL). This project aims to facilitate the evacuation of power from the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Zone Ph-IV (Jaisalmer/Barmer Complex).
Apraava Energy was selected as the Transmission Service Provider (TSP) through a Tariff-based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process managed by RECPDCL. The project will be developed on a Build, Own, Operate & Transfer (BOOT) basis.
The project involves the construction of a 765/400 kV, 4×1500 MVA and 400/220 kV, 5×500 MVA Pooling Station at Fatehgarh-IV, along with 184.56 km of 400 kV transmission lines and associated infrastructure. The project is expected to be implemented within two years.
