## Green Energy Corridor (GEC):

GEC (Phase-I):

The  transmission  system  under  Green  Energy  Corridor  (GEC-I)  is  being  implemented  by MNRE through the  State  Transmission  Utilities  of  8  Renewable  Energy  (RE)  rich  States, including Tamil Nadu. In Tamil Nadu, it is being implemented by Transmission Corporation of Tamil Nadu Limited (TANTRANSCO). As of 30.06.2024, 1068 circuit kilometers (ckm) of transmission lines and 1910 Mega Volt-Amperes (MVA) substations have been constructed.

## GEC (Phase-II):

Green Energy Corridor Intra-State Transmission System Phase-II scheme has been approved for 7 States, including Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is setting up 624 circuit kilometers (ckm) of transmission  lines  and  2200  MVA  capacity  substations  by  FY  2025-26  for  evacuation  of renewable energy.

## Off-shore Wind Energy projects:

The  Union  Cabinet  approved  the  Viability  Gap  Funding  (VGF)  scheme  for  offshore  wind energy projects at a total outlay of Rs.7453 crore, including an outlay of Rs.6853 crore for installation and commissioning of 1 GW of offshore wind energy projects (500 MW each off the coast of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu), and grant of Rs.600 crore for upgradation of two ports to meet logistics requirements for offshore wind energy projects.

## Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM)

MNRE is implementing Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PMKUSUM) which aims for de-dieselisation of the farm sector, providing water and energy security to farmers, increasing the income of farmers and curbing environmental pollution. The scheme has the following three components:

- Component-B: Installation of standalone off-grid solar water pumps
- Component-C: Solarization of existing grid-connected agriculture pumps

The status of the projects sanctioned in Tamil Nadu is given below:

| Component-A (in MW)   | Component-A (in MW)   | Component-B (in Nos.)   | Component-B (in Nos.)   |
|-----------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
| Sanctioned            | Installed             | Sanctioned              | Installed               |
