The transmission project is essential for evacuating electricity from the Mahan Energen plant and delivering it efficiently through the national grid. It involves building a 400 kV double circuit transmission line and integrating it with the Rewa PowerGrid substation. The project will follow the BOOT (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer) model, enabling PowerGrid to manage the infrastructure for a defined period before transferring it.
By integrating MPTL’s operations, PowerGrid aims to strengthen the transmission backbone in central India, contributing to greater grid reliability and regional power flow efficiency.
