Rec EVAC to Relocate 11 GW Renewables in Rajasthan

08 Nov 2023 CW Team

The ambitious plan, which involves moving a significant portion of the renewable energy capacity, emphasizes the state's commitment to renewable energy development. With a target of attaining 30 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2025, Rajasthan has been at the forefront of renewable energy growth in India.

The challenges faced in renewable energy evacuation include limited transmission capacity and infrastructure constraints. By relocating the renewable energy sources, Rec EVAC aims to overcome these hurdles, enabling a smoother and more efficient flow of power from the renewable projects to consumers.

The state is witnessing a rapid increase in solar and wind power installations, with several major projects under execution. However, the lack of adequate transmission infrastructure has resulted in a waste of valuable renewable energy. Therefore, the focus on enhancing grid infrastructure is crucial to effectively evacuate the generated power.

Rec EVAC's comprehensive plan involves identifying suitable locations for the development of renewable energy evacuation substations. These substations act as interconnection points for transmitting power from renewable energy projects to the state grid network, facilitating reliable and uninterrupted power supply.

The relocation of renewable energy capacity will require careful coordination among various stakeholders, including renewable project developers, transmission companies, and state electricity regulators. Additionally, Rec EVAC will prioritize the modernization and upgradation of infrastructure to meet the growing renewable energy demand.

This initiative aligns with the government's goal of achieving a sustainable and green energy mix. The increased focus on renewable energy will contribute to reduced carbon emissions, improved energy security, and job creation in the renewable energy sector.

It is evident that to realize the full potential of renewable energy in Rajasthan, there is a pressing need to tackle transmission capacity limitations and strengthen the grid infrastructure. The relocation of 11 GW of renewable energy capacity by Rec EVAC marks a significant step towards achieving these objectives.

As Rajasthan continues to be a frontrunner in renewable energy development in India, the state's commitment to improving infrastructure and streamlining the evacuation process is commendable. With such initiatives, Rajasthan is poised to become a model for other states in the successful integration of renewable energy into the grid network.
