Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission, a subsidiary of Adani Energy Solutions (AESL), has awarded a major contract to a consortium comprising Hitachi Energy India and Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL). The contract will see the consortium design and deliver high-voltage direct current (HVDC) terminals to transmit renewable energy from the Bhadla area of Rajasthan to the industrial and transport hub in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. The 6,000 megawatt (MW), 950 km HVDC link can power approximately 60 million households in India.

The 6,000 MW, ±800 kilovolt (kV) bi-pole and bi-directional HVDC terminals are part of the transmission system to transfer power from the potential renewable energy zone in the Bhadla area of Rajasthan under Phase-III Part I, which was awarded to AESL based on tariff-based competitive bidding. This HVDC link crosses 950 km and feeds into the country's 500 GW renewable evacuation and interstate transmission system. A strong HVDC system is essential in ensuring bi-directional power flow control and grid stability to meet India's rapid pace of renewable energy integration.
