ReNew switches on 1st interstate transmission project

The Koppal Transmission Scheme will be completed by June 2024.

India-based ReNew has started its first interstate transmission project, the Koppal Transmission Scheme, that will support the transmission of around 1,500 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy in the Koppal area of Karnataka state.

In a statement, ReNew said the project under the government’s Interstate Transmission Scheme included the construction of a new 400/220 kilovolt (kV) sub-station with 276 circuit kilometres of 400 kV direct current quad moose transmission line along with the 400 kV GIS Bays at the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd Narendra New Substation.

The remaining transmission for the 3,500 MW transmission project will be completed by June 2024.

Following the development, ReNew entered a second joint investment with the Norwegian Government’s Investment Fund for developing countries, Norfund, and Norway’s largest pension firm KLP, through their joint firm KNI India NS, investing around $9m for the second transmission in Karnataka in Gadag district.

The Norwegian firms will acquire a 49% stake in the second project.

ReNew won three transmission projects in the state under the ISTS to support the transmission of 5 gigawatts of wind and solar power potential in Karnataka.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
