Adani Energy Solutions (AESL) has commissioned the Karur Transmission project in Tamil Nadu, facilitating the evacuation of 2,500 MW of power from renewable sources in the Karur/Tiruppur Wind Energy Zone.

The project encompasses a 400/230 kV, 1,000 MVA pooling station, and an associated transmission line spanning 8.51 circuit kilometers (CKM).

The project will support the integration of renewable energy sources on a large scale and strengthen the southern regional grid, providing enhanced access to reliable and clean energy for industrial, commercial, and residential consumers.

The Karur/Tiruppur wind energy zone in Tamil Nadu features several under-construction wind farms.

AESL secured this project through the tariff-based competitive bidding route in December 2021 for 35 years, following a build, own, operate, and maintain model to ensure the evacuation of 2,500 MW of green power in the region.

AESL said it completed the project using high-boom equipment for construction and advanced cybersecurity solutions. The project ran round-the-clock in multiple shifts, erecting two 48-MT towers in 24 hours each and managing tasks such as shutting down the 400 kV D/C Pugalur-Pugalur line and erecting tower structures.

In October, AGEL completed the commissioning of a 150 MW solar power project in Bikaner, Rajasthan, which increased the company’s operational renewable generation capacity to 8,404 MW, aligning it with the goal of achieving a 45 GW capacity by 2030.

AESL recently commissioned the 765 kV Warora-Kurnool Transmission line, spanning 1,756 CKM across Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. The line is expected to ensure a seamless flow of 4,500 MW of power between the western and southern regions and support the large-scale integration of generation from renewable energy sources.
