Alstom T&D India has received an order valued around at Rs 151.5 crore from Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (RRVPNL).

As per the order, Alstom T&D India will supply a 400/220 kV substation in Bhadla and expand the existing 400/220 kV substation in Bikaner in the state of Rajasthan. Also, the company will design, engineer, manufacture, install and commission the Bhadia 400/220 kV substation including twenty 400 kV bays and seventeen 220 kV bays.

The Bikaner expansion project consists of supplying eight 400 kV bays, transformers, circuit breakers, control and protection relays and substation automation system. Alstom T&D India’s manufacturing facilities in India will manufacture and supply the entire equipment.

The new 400 kV grid substation in Bhadla will help to evacuate power from the Bhadla solar park and other upcoming solar parks in the area. While the expansion of the 400/220 kV substation at Bikaner will facilitate the exchange of solar power generation with the national grid.

Rajasthan is one of the few states selected by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) as models for the proposed mega solar parks, whose installed solar power capacity will be increased to 1,00,000 MW by 2022.
