Adani Energy has commissioned the largest inter-regional 765 KV Warora-Kurnool electricity transmission line. The company said on Thursday.
According to a statement, The project, spanning 1,756 circuit kilometres (ckm) across Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, will strengthen the national grid to ensure a seamless power flow of 4,500 MW between western and southern regions.
The Warora Kurnool Transmission Ltd (WKTL) was fully commissioned by Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL), the statement added.
WKTL was formed in April 2015 to build a second inter-regional alternative current link for import into the southern area, namely Warora-Warangal and Chilakaluripeta-Hyderabad-Kurnool, as well as a 765/400 kV sub-station in Warangal.
It is the largest 765 kV D/C (Hexa conductor) tariff-based competitive bidding project ever awarded under a single scheme, the statement said.
It entailed installing a 1,756 km transmission line traversing across Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, and the construction of a 765 KV sub-station in Warangal was on a build, own, operate and maintain basis.
This was granted to Essel InfraProjects Ltd in early 2016 on the basis of a Tariff-based Competitive Bid (TBCB) and subsequently acquired by AESL in March 2021 following the stressed debt restructuring undertaken by lenders.
