Adani Energy Solutions, part of Indian conglomerate Adani Group, has commissioned the 2.5GW Karur Transmission, a project to transmit green power generated in the Karur/Tiruppur wind energy zone in the state of Tamil Nadu.

The project includes the establishment of the 400/230kV, 1,000 megavolt amp (MVA) Karur pooling station and an associated transmission line in and line out, known as a LILO, from the 440kV Pugalur high-voltage direct current transmission line spanning 8.51 circuit kilometres (ckm).

With 1000MVA of transmission capacity, Karur Transmission can also help strengthen the southern regional grid and support large-scale integration of renewable energy.

It will support industrial, commercial and residential consumers with increased access to clean energy.

The Karur/Tiruppur wind energy zone is an important wind corridor in Tamil Nadu, which has significant wind capacities and a number of wind farms already under construction.

Adani Energy Solutions secured the project to build, own, operate and maintain Karur Transmission for 35 years in December 2021 in a tariff-based competitive bidding round.

The project will ensure the smooth transmission of 2.5GW of green electricity generated in the region.

It conforms to the country’s decarbonisation ambitions and will help it reach its 2030 target of 500GW of green energy generation.

Adani Energy Solutions completed the project in fast-track mode, given the topographical challenges it faced while reducing its ecological impact.

In October 2023, the company commissioned the 400kV Khargar-Vikhroli transmission line to connect Mumbai with the national grid.

With 74ckm of 440kV and 220kV transmission lines and a 9,500m², 1,500MVA, 400kV gas-insulated substation at Vikhroli, the project will bring additional power into the city to meet its increasing electricity demand.
