Rajasthan leads in Renewable Energy (RE) with identified wind and solar energy potential of 426GW F3BTL project will help integrate and evacuate power from RE zones in Fatehgarh (9.1 GW), Bhadla (8 GW) and Ramgarh (2.9 GW) areas of the state. This will facilitate transport of power from generation areas to cater to the power demand in the state.
In recent years, Rajasthan witnessed severe power shortages due to abrupt surge in power demand towards the end of monsoon season coupled with partial shutdown of thermal power units either due to shortage of coal or technical glitches. As against the peak demand of 17.4 GW in the state, peak met stood at 17.2 GW in FY23, resulting in a demand-supply gap of 193 MW 2 . This led to scheduled and unscheduled prolonged power cuts across the state. F3BTL project will facilitate power supply from Renewable Energy (RE) zones in the state, thereby helping avoid future load shedding and also provide for future industry power needs.
Severe power shortages that restrict use of irrigation pumps in the last stage of harvesting can lead crops to dry up. Besides, often during power shortages, farmers are supplied electricity in the night shift instead of day to irrigate their crops. F3BTL project can potentially help mitigate this risk.
Augmentation of transmission infrastructure through F3BTL project will
help achieve a target of 90 GW 3 for RE power generation upto 2029-30. The increased RE generation will not only ensure the energy security of the state but will also help accomplish ‘optimal energy
mix’ of conventional and RE power.
The development of transmission infrastructure through F3BTL will help reduce deliberate reduction in generation of wind and solar power to maintain demand-supply balance. This will maximize the RE plant output, thereby enhancing viability of RE projects in the state. This will further help attract investment in the RE sector of Rajasthan. This will indirectly stimulate industrial development, and create employment opportunities, thereby boosting the state
economy.
Bird deflectors/ bird diverter prevents birds from colliding into transmission lines especially under low visibility conditions. It also safeguards the transmission line from collision of birds, in turn avoiding tripping of the line due to such accidents.
Extensive use of drones for the purpose of stringing conductors on transmission lines is making reconductoring increasingly efficient and environmentally friendly. The use of drones across difficult and hilly terrains ensures that the flora and fauna are unaffected by the work taking place
Since 31 December 2013, the country has operated a single synchronously operated national grid, rather than the regional grids which were in existence previously. Inter-state co-operation among states under the “One Nation, One Grid, One Price” has been a key factor responsible for surplus of electricity being available at affordable rates for states
The project will help achieve non-fossil fuel energy capacity of 500 GW by 2030, which will further help India in reducing CO2 emissions by 1 billion tones by 2030; reducing carbon intensity below 45% by 2030; and finally paving the way for achieving a Net-Zero emission target by 2070
