Transmission delays hit India’s solar power plants

Fresh hurdles could potentially trip solar power generation in the country’s largest solar park at Bhadla, with over half a dozen solar generation units including that of Tata Power, Adani Power, Renew Power and Italy’s Enel among those that have been asked to curtail generation of up to 10 per cent from December 1.

The reason:

Delays in transmission projects, including the Bikaner-2 pooling station that was scheduled to be commissioned by December 22, where currently over 50 per cent of the works are pending and stringing of the transmission lines is yet to commence.
