Rajasthan Phase-III (20GW) green energy transmission contract has been awarded to Sterlite Power, according to a statement.

350 km (765 Kv) of an energy transmission corridor are being built as part of the project. However, the business chose not to make the order's value public.

According to the statement, the project has three integral components -- a 350 km 765kV transmission corridor connecting the renewable energy zone of Fatehgarh III to the substation at Beawar; construction of a 3000 MVA 765/400kV Substation at Beawar and construction of two LILO lines, covering approximately 120 km.

The project also includes Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM) system implementation at Fatehgarh III substation.

Sterlite Power will be the first private transmission infrastructure developer in the country to implement a STATCOM, it stated.
