Reportedly, Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) is planning to develop a 300 MW hybrid renewable energy project in collaboration with the Ministry of Railways, as part of efforts to support Indian Railways’ green energy obligations.
The project is expected to include solar, wind, and energy storage components, with an estimated investment of over Rs 15 billion. The hybrid project, which is likely to be located in Bihar, Jharkhand, or Karnataka, will also incorporate energy storage to ensure firm power supply during peak hours. RVNL will lead the infrastructure development, including transmission systems, while partnering companies will contribute technology, solar modules, or wind components as per their expertise.
