RE Integration
The increasing share of renewable energy requires appropriate planning of transmission networks for its evacuation and reliable grid integration of such resources. Some of the developments in this regard are the Green Energy Corridors (GEC) and a CEA report on integrating 500 GW Renewables by 2030, prepared by a committee constituted by the Ministry of Power.
Green Energy Corridor
The Green Energy Corridor Project aims at synchronizing electricity produced from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, with conventional power stations in the grid. For evacuation of large-scale renewable energy, Intra State Transmission System (InSTS) project was sanctioned by the Ministry in 2015-16. It is being implemented by eight renewable-rich states of Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. The project is being implemented in these states by the respective State Transmission Utilities (STUs).

CEA Plan for 500 GW RE by 2030
The report has been prepared by a committee constituted by the Ministry of Power, in consultation with States and other stakeholders. The Plan portrays the broad transmission system roadmap for reliable integration of 537 GW RE capacity by the year 2030. The information provided on the report has been shown in graphs below.
