Two electricity projects under way to bring 2,000 MW power to Mumbai
MUMBAI: Two projects have been designed to bring 2,000 MW power to Mumbai, a 400 KV Kharghar-Vikhroli transmission line, which is likely to be ready by the year-end and the Kudus-Aarey transmission corridor, likely by 2025.
– It is an HVDC (high voltage direct current) project, which will bring additional 1,000 MW renewable energy to Mumbai
The 320KV transmission link will ensure uninterrupted supply of renewable power to Mumbai
– It is critical given the city’s transmission capacity constraints amidst its fast-rising energy demand
– It will enhance grid stability by providing an interface with the state and national grids
