India, Rajasthan: Apraava Energy has announced the commissioning of a 22-km, 400 kV Fatehgarh IV transmission line along with a 400 / 220 kV pooling substation in Barmer, Rajasthan.

According to an official statement, the project is part of the transmission scheme designed to evacuate electricity from renewable energy zones (REZ) in Rajasthan under Phase-III Part A1. The infrastructure will help move renewable power from generation areas to the wider grid and support India’s goal of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, Managing Director of Apraava Energy, said the project will strengthen Rajasthan’s transmission network and ensure reliable delivery of renewable electricity across the country, including distant regions that depend on stable power supply.

The Fatehgarh IV Transmission project is designed to handle up to 2.5 GW of renewable energy. This is enabled by five transformers, each with a capacity of 500 MVA. The newly built line connects to Apraava’s Fatehgarh-III substation, improving the region’s ability to transmit renewable electricity generated in the Jaisalmer–Barmer area.

The company noted that construction was completed despite several challenges. These included extreme weather conditions, land acquisition hurdles, right-of-way issues and temporary demobilisation of work due to border-related tensions.

With the new line and substation now operational, the project is expected to play an important role in strengthening renewable energy transmission from one of India’s key clean energy regions.
