Apraava Energy Commences Rajasthan Transmission Line

09 Mar 2026 CW Team

The new link has a transmission capacity of two point five gigawatt (GW) of renewable power delivered through five 500 MVA transformers and connects to Apraava Energy's Fatehgarh-III substation. This integration significantly enhances the capability to evacuate generation from the Jaisalmer-Barmer region and supports the reliable flow of power to downstream networks. The arrangement of five 500 MVA transformers is intended to provide operational redundancy and high throughput for sustained dispatch.

Apraava Energy said its managing director, Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, described the project as an enabler to strengthen the transmission infrastructure of Rajasthan and to ensure reliable dispatch of renewable energy to remote regions of the country. The company currently operates three power transmission assets spanning 516 km across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur, with a substation capacity of three point five GW. The addition complements the existing network by improving redundancy and operational flexibility across the company's transmission portfolio.

The commissioning of the Fatehgarh IV line forms part of broader efforts to bolster transmission capacity and facilitate the integration of renewable generation into the grid. Enhanced evacuation capability is expected to support the energy transition by reducing curtailment and enabling generation to reach demand centres more effectively. Operators anticipate improved grid stability and scheduling of intermittent generation as evacuation constraints are eased.

Apraava Energy has begun operations of a 400-kV electricity transmission line and a pooling substation in Rajasthan. The 22 km Fatehgarh IV transmission line in Barmer is a key component of the transmission scheme designed to evacuate renewable energy from the renewable energy zones in Rajasthan under Phase-III Part A1. A pooling substation brings together multiple renewable units and connects them to a central point to streamline evacuation. The Jaisalmer-Barmer region hosts substantial renewable resources and requires strengthened evacuation corridors to move generation to demand centres.
