Power Grid Corporation of India has commissioned the first 765 kv double circuit line from Nellore to Kurnool, thereby linking the South India Grid.

According to a statement, during the last one year Power Grid has commissioned the 765 kv Raichur to Solapur line thereby enabling One nation-One grid with the integration of southern grid with the rest of India.

In addition, three other 765 kv substations at Raichur, Kurnool and Nellore have been commissioned.

About 9000 MVA (megavolt ampere) transformation capacity has been added during this period.

Power Grid stated that these systems have greatly facilitated import of power from other regions. In addition, several other systems are under execution to further facilitate exchange of power with other regions.
