BHEL-Hitachi Energy India bagged a major transmission project from Adani Energy Solutions to help move more green power across India’s grid.
The deets: the system will move green power from Bhadla—India’s solar powerhouse—to Fatehpur, spanning 950 km.
BHEL will supply the critical hardware like converter transformers, shunt reactors, and thyristor valves to convert AC to DC for efficient long-distance transfer.
Why it matters: India is targeting 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. But generation is only half the battle. You need to move the power. This project helps solve that.
Big picture: this is BHEL’s fourth big HVDC play after the North-East Agra, Raigarh-Pugalur, and Khavda-Nagpur links.
