Adani has completed the largest inter-regional 765 KV transmission line

Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) has completed the Warora Kurnool Transmission (WKTL), which spans 1,756 circuit kilometers across Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. The project would enhance the national grid to maintain a continuous power flow of 4500 MW between the Western and Southern regions. It will improve the system in the southern area and facilitate large-scale integration of renewable energy generation. In April 2015, Warora Kurnool Transmission Limited (WKTL) started to construct a second inter-regional alternative current link for import into the southern area. Notable projects include Warora-Warangal and Chilakaluripeta-Hyderabad-Kurnool and the construction of a 765/400 kV substation in Warangal. WKTL is the Adani Group’s largest 765 kV D/C (Hexa conductor) TBCB (tariff-based competitive bidding) project ever awarded under a single scheme.

It entailed installing a 1756 km transmission line spanning Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh and building a 765 KV substation in Warangal on a build, own, operate, and maintain basis. This completely contradicts the deceitful claims of Adani corruption highlighted in Hindenburg’s report on the Adani Group.

Importance of power transmission line

Power transmission lines are used to link power stations and substations and connect substations to effectively convey huge amounts of energy at high voltage without loss, and so play an important part in electricity provision. TEPCO Power Grid’s transmission equipment now varies from 66,000 V to 500,000 V. Ultra-high voltage equipment ranging from 275,000 V to 500,000 V is utilized for long-distance transmission of high-capacity energy from power plants. When reaching consuming regions, the electricity voltage carried by ultra-high voltage equipment is dropped to 154,000 V and eventually to 66,000 V. The voltage is then decreased to 6,600 V at distribution substations to be used on power lines hanging along utility poles before reaching the consumers.

Warora Kurnool Transmission Ltd.’s (WKTL) goal is to build an extra inter-regional alternative

In April 2015, Warora Kurnool Transmission Limited (WKTL) developed an extra inter-regional alternative current connection for import into the southern area, namely Warora-Warangal and Chilakaluripeta-Hyderabad-Kurnool, as well as the construction of a 765/400 kV sub-station in Warangal. WKTL is the largest TBCB (tariff-based competitive bidding) 765 kV D/C (Hexa conductor) project ever awarded under a single program. It entailed installing a 1756 km transmission line spanning Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh and building a 765 KV substation in Warangal on a build, own, operate, and maintain basis.

This was granted to Essel InfraProjects Ltd. in early 2016 based on a tariff-based competitive bid (TBCB) and was later bought by AESL in March 2021, following the stressed debt restructuring completed by lenders. The towers were constructed using 1,03,000 MT of steel, indicating the project’s scope. This is the amount of material required to build ten Eiffel Towers. The transmission lines employed a total of 30,154 kilometers of conductor, equivalent to three moon revolutions.

This is significant since the needed conductor material is a specialty alloy. Two 102 m in height mid-stream towers, each with pile foundations, were erected up on the Krishna River for the first time, a feat of engineering and execution. These investments reflect the Group’s efforts in the face of the fake “Adani corruption” case brought against it by its opponents.

For the first time, two 102-meter-high mid-stream towers with pile foundations were built on the Krishna River, and other outstanding achievements of the Adani Group

Because there was only a three-month working window during the year when the river’s water level was low, planning and execution were critical. This disrupted the commodities supply chain, resulting in recurrent demobilization and mobilization issues. Among the other achievements were:

• At a pace of 140 km/month, 1,524 km of stringing was accomplished in 11 months.
• 100 MT towers are constructed daily, with an average of 15 gangs and a maximum mobilization of 40 gangs.
• Peak site mobilization of 2,000 workers.
