Oracle Power PLC has completed the Transmission & Grid Interconnection Study for its 1.3GW hybrid renewable energy plant in Jhimpir, Sindh, Pakistan. Funded by State Grid China, the study explores connecting the plant’s solar, wind, and battery storage systems to Pakistan’s National Grid.
Key Technical Details of the Hybrid Renewable Plant
The hybrid plant will include 800MW of solar power, 500MW of wind power, and 260MW of battery energy storage (BESS). The expected total output is 1,155MW. A 35-kilometer double-circuit 220kV transmission line will connect the plant to the Jhimpir-II Grid Station. The study also features load flow and dynamic stability analyses to ensure reliability during peak, off-peak, and fault conditions.
Study Results Submitted for Government Approval
The study has been submitted to the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) for review and government approval. This is a critical step for moving the project forward. It sets the stage for detailed engineering design (FEED) and securing off-take agreements, advancing the plant toward implementation.
Oracle CEO Comments on the Project’s Future Impact
Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle Power, emphasized the significance of the study. The findings offer a strong foundation for the project’s next steps. The goal is to integrate renewable energy into the National Grid, enhancing energy security and supporting sustainable development in Pakistan.
