Green Energy Corridor
Note
Renewable generation is built where the resource is, but demand sits at load centres far away — without dedicated transmission, that generation is stranded however much capacity is installed. Green Energy Corridor (GEC) addresses this evacuation problem through inter-state and intra-state transmission infrastructure developed under Ministry of Power and MNRE's GEC-I and GEC-II schemes, part-funded by KfW and World Bank loans. High-resource states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Himachal Pradesh are the supply end. Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd is the nodal agency, and SCADA/EMS grid management is built into the scheme to manage power flows, congestion and voltage across the corridor.
