The WRES-XXVIII scheme, worth INR1.9 billion, has been proposed to facilitate transmission of power at the 220 kV level from the 765/400 kV Raipur Pool substation as well as to provide a direct feed to the Borjhara/Urla area, which has major load centres in Chhattisgarh.

VNI West proposes to connect Western Renewables Link from a new terminal station north of Ballarat, Victoria, with the EnergyConnect project at a new Dinawan substation between Jerilderie and Coleambally, NSW.

The 2,087-km line begins from the Baihetan converter station in China’s southwest province of Sichuan and ends at the Yucheng converter station in East China’s Jiangsu Province.

The 400 kV project is part of the larger Nepal–India Electricity Transmission and Trade Project, which aims to establish about 1,000 MW of cross-border transmission capacity between India and Nepal to facilitate electricity trade between the two countries, and to increase the supply of electricity in Nepal by the sustainable import of at least 100 MW.

The project will help transmit electricity produced by hydropower projects on the Marsyangdi River to Kathmandu.

ATL acquired Khavda–Bhuj Transmission in January 2022, after signing a share purchase agreement with PFC Consulting.

With the MVIP, the NGCP aims to link the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao grids to form a unified power grid to ensure more stable and secure power supply in the three major islands of the country.

In September 2021, Nepal and India decided to collaborate on developing an additional transnational transmission line with a capacity of approximately 2,000 MW.

It involves the development an 80-km, 1,000 MW high voltage direct current (HVDC) link between the 400 kV Kudus and 220 kV Aarey power stations in the state of Maharashtra

The NRSS-XXXVI project was incorporated as a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to establish and operate the transmission system for the project, along with line-in-line-out (LILO) of the 400 kV Sikar–Neemrana double-circuit (D/C) line at Babai.

The Narendra–Koppal project, involving the evacuation of 2.5 GW from wind energy zones in Karnataka, is part of the first of three phases of the planned interstate-based evacuation infrastructure Koppal transmission scheme.

The USD100 million project is a sub-part of the Asian Development Bank (ADB)-funded South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Power Expansion Project and aims to evacuate approximately 1,600 MW of power generated from various hydropower stations in the Marsyangdi River corridor.

International bids are invited for design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of 500/132 kV grid station at Allama Iqbal Industrial City on turnkey basis.

The second Bass Strait interconnector, widely known as the Marinus Link, is a proposed 1,500 MW undersea power link connecting Tasmania and Victoria, with supporting transmission infrastructure.

Competitive bids are invited for civil works, erection, testing and commissioning for 220/132 kV Quaid-E-Azam Business Park grid station Sheikhupura under NTDC own resources.

NTDC Limited implemented a 500 kV electricity transmission scheme to evacuate power from the 969 MW Neelum-Jhelum hydropower plant (HPP) located near Muzaffarabad. The estimated cost of the recently completed transmission project was around PKR17 billion.
