FAQs

Everything you need to know about this project
1. What is the primary objective of the "Transmission System for Integration of Anantapur-II REZ - Phase-I" project?
The primary objective is to unlock and evacuate 4.5 GW of renewable energy from the Anantapur region of Andhra Pradesh, directly contributing to the Government of India’s target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity by 2030.
2. Who is implementing this project?
Resonia Limited is at the forefront of implementing this project. The Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the project is "Anantapur II REZ Transmission Limited".
3. What are the key components of the project's scope?
The scope includes establishing the Ananthapuram-II Pooling Station (4×1500 MVA, 765/400 kV and 6×500 MVA, 400/220 kV), building 765 kV double-circuit lines to Davangere (Karnataka) and Cuddapah (Andhra Pradesh), and installing a +300 MVAr STATCOM at Ananthapuram-II.
4. What is the total renewable energy capacity that this project aims to integrate?
The project aims to integrate 4.5 GW of renewable energy.
5. How does this project support India's national clean energy goals?
By evacuating 4.5 GW of renewable energy, the project directly contributes to India's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based generation by 2030 and accelerates the transition to net-zero emissions.
6. Which states will primarily benefit from this transmission system?
The states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka will primarily benefit from this transmission system.
7. How will this project address the rising power demand in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka?
This transmission infrastructure ensures that the increasing electricity demand in both states—forecast to grow steadily—is met with clean, low-cost, and reliable renewable energy.
8. What role does this project play in supporting Green Hydrogen and industrial hubs?
The project supplies stable renewable energy essential for round-the-clock power needs in future green hydrogen and industrial zones like Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, and Bengaluru’s industrial belts.
9. How will this project impact power purchase costs for consumers?
By integrating cost-effective renewable energy, the project reduces dependency on fossil fuels, lowering power procurement costs for DISCOMs and ultimately reducing electricity bills for consumers.
