- (b) the capacity of commissioned transmission systems in the said State for evacuation of renewable energy along with the details of Inter-State Transmission (ISTS) and Intra-State Transmission System (InSTS) projects and the renewable capacity already integrated and under implementation;
- (c) the present status of Phase-I of the Inter-State Transmission Line under the Green Energy Corridor;
- (d) the extent to which Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are being integrated at grid and project levels to address intermittency and enhance grid stability; and
- (e) the roadmap for further strengthening transmission and storage infrastructure to support Rajasthan's role in India's renewable energy targets for the year 2030 ?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER

## (SHRI SHRIPAD YESSO NAIK)

- (a) As on 31.01.2026, the total installed power capacity in the State of Rajasthan is 57,424.89 MW out of which renewable energy installed capacity is 43,798.06 MW (i.e. 76.27%) which includes 37,925.04 MW solar power, 5229.15 MW wind power, 136.15 MW biomass power, and 23.85 MW small hydro power.
- (b) As per the information received from Ministry of Power,  the details of Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) under Tariff based competitive bidding (TBCB) Mode and Intra State Transmission System  (InSTS)  commissioned,  and  under  implementation  transmission  projects  in  the  State  of Rajasthan are given as under:

## (i) ISTS:

- 6623 ckm (circuit kilometres) of transmission line along with 7500 MVA (Mega VoltAmpere) of transformation capacity (220 kV & above) has been commissioned.
- 16522 ckm of transmission line along with 100000 MVA of transformation capacity (220 kV & above) is under implementation.

## (ii) InSTS:

- 24343 ckm of transmission line along with 64770 MVA of transformation capacity (220 kV & above) has been commissioned.
- 4152 ckm of transmission line along with 15335 MVA of transformation capacity (220 kV & above) is under implementation.
- (c) There is no Inter-State Transmission System project under GEC Phase-I in the State of Rajasthan.
- (d) As per the information received from Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL), in Rajasthan, 6000MWh standalone Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with solar project has been awarded.
- (e)  Ministry  of  Power  has  informed  that  addition  of  transmission  system  is  constantly  being implemented and planned in the ISTS and intra-state network in Rajasthan for evacuation of renewable energy from  the projects located in the State of Rajasthan.

Intra-state transmission system (InSTS): Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (RVPN) (State  Transmission Utility  in Rajasthan) is implementing 659 ckm of transmission lines and 2191 MVA capacity substations for evacuation of renewable energy of 2478 MW capacity in the State under Green Energy Corridor Intra-State Transmission System Phase-II (GEC-II InSTS) scheme.

Inter-State transmission system (ISTS ): To facilitate renewable energy evacuation, the transmission system for evacuation of 73 GW renewable energy capacity from Rajasthan has been planned and it is in various stages of implementation. The details of transmission schemes are given below:

- i.Transmission system for Ultra-Mega Solar Power Projects (2.5 GW) -Commissioned
- ii.Transmission system under Phase-I REZ (8.9 GW) -Commissioned
- iii. Transmission system under Phase-II SEZ (8.1 GW) -Part Commissioned
- iv.Transmission system under Phase-III REZ (20 GW) -Under implementation
- v.Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part-1: 7.7GW) (Bikaner Complex) -Under Implementation
- vi.Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part-2: 5.5 GW) (Jaisalmer/Barmer Complex) -Under Implementation
- vii.Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part-3: 6 GW) (Bikaner Complex) -Under Implementation
- viii. Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part-4: 3.5 GW) (Fatehgarh/Barmer Complex) -Under implementation
- ix.Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-V (Part-1: 4 GW) [Sirohi/Nagaur] Complex -Under Implementation
- x.Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part-5: 6 GW) [Barmer Complex] Barmer-II: 6 GW (Solar) (LCC Configuration) - Under Bidding
