India, Karnataka: Eight 110 kV substations will be built in eight villages in Karnataka’s Belagavi district selected under the Greenfield Energy Corridor project. Solar power projects are also expected to be established in these villages as part of the initiative. The decision was made by Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) during a meeting on 3 July.
The villages are Appachiwadi (Nippani taluk), Pamaladinni (Gokak taluk), Saundatti Jackwell (Saundatti taluk), Ganikoppa (Bailhongal taluk), PY Hunashyal (Mudalagi taluk), Muragod (Saundatti taluk), Paschhapur (Hukkeri taluk) and Kenchanahatti (Belagavi taluk). The scheme will be implemented across two phases.
The substations in Belagavi form part of Phase 2, which has a total estimated cost of INR 1036 crore ($119.8 million). KPTCL’s goal is to establish a Green Energy Corridor in the state, supporting the generation of energy sourced from solar and wind power. Once the new substations are operational, the load on existing ones is expected to reduce significantly and the new substations will help meet the rising power demand.
