Kshema Power, a renewable energy EPC company, has secured an order from an Independent Power Producer (IPP) for the development of critical transmission infrastructure for a 315 MW wind power project in Karnataka.
The order includes the supply, civil works, erection and commissioning of approximately 33 km of 220 kV Single Circuit Transmission Line on Double Circuit Towers and Multi-Circuit Towers, along with the supply, civil works, erection and commissioning of unit substations and 33 kV transmission line infrastructure.
Karnataka ranks third among Indian states at close to 8,900 MW, and evacuation infrastructure is increasingly the constraint on how quickly new capacity reaches the grid. The Central Electricity Authority’s National Electricity Plan (Transmission) envisages over 191,000 circuit kilometres of new transmission lines and an investment of more than INR 9.15 lakh crore through 2032 to support 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030.
While generation capacity continues to expand, the ability to evacuate, transmit and integrate renewable power reliably into the grid will be equally critical to achieving the country’s long-term clean energy ambitions.
Dr. Sateesh Basant, Managing Director, Kshema Power, said, “India’s renewable energy journey is entering a phase where transmission infrastructure will play an increasingly decisive role. Adding generation capacity is only one part of the equation; ensuring that renewable power can be evacuated and delivered reliably to the grid is equally important. This project reflects our commitment to building the infrastructure that enables renewable energy to move from generation to consumption efficiently and reliably.”
With an integrated scope covering procurement of required approvals for high-voltage transmission, substation infrastructure, electrical balance of plant, civil works, erection and commissioning, the project further strengthens Kshema Power’s capabilities as an end-to-end EPC partner for large-scale renewable energy projects.
The company has executed over 5.2 GW of renewable energy infrastructure globally, including 4,500 plus MW of wind EPC, 2,000 plus km of power transmission lines and 2,400 plus MVA of substation capacity. The company continues to focus on delivering reliable and future-ready infrastructure that supports the integration of renewable energy into India’s evolving power network.
