Oracle Power has finished its transmission and grid interconnection study for its proposed 1.3-gigawatt (GW) hybrid renewable energy plant in Sindh, Pakistan. The study focused on assessing the feasibility and reliability of connecting the plant to the national grid.
The study results showed that the proposed transmission scheme would perform reliably under normal conditions, according to comprehensive load flow studies conducted by Oracle Power. The findings of the study have been submitted to Pakistan’s National Transmission & Despatch Company (NTDC) for review and approval by relevant authorities. This step is necessary for moving forward with the project.
The proposed plant, located in Jhimpir, Sindh, will consist of 800 megawatts (MW) of solar power and 500 MW of wind power. Earlier this year, Oracle Power received the necessary permissions to begin developing the plant.
The completion of the transmission study is a critical step, providing the foundation for the next phase of the project, which includes detailed engineering design. The findings are expected to help secure off-take agreements for the power generated by the plant, making it an important step towards the project’s full implementation.
Oracle Power is also collaborating with several companies to develop large-scale renewable energy projects. The company has worked with TBEA Xinjiang SunOasis Company, a Chinese company, for the development of solar power projects in Pakistan. Oracle Power’s 1.3 GW plant is a move towards increasing renewable energy capacity in Pakistan. The project aims to harness both solar and wind resources to support the country’s energy needs.
