Commercial clearances support BHAVINI Nuclear power projects grid step
Nuclear power projects linked to Kalpakkam have received a transmission readiness update through SRPC OCC-240 agenda item 18. The record concerns the 230 kV BHAVINI–Kancheepuram lines I and II, which form the evacuation and commissioning-support path for the 500 MW Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor.
The agenda states that BHAVINI submitted all required clearances and clarifications to TANTRANSCO. TNSLDC and TANTRANSCO confirmed on 24 June that commercial issues had been resolved. They requested PGCIL, as the bay owner, to forward consent to SRLDC for first-time charging approval. PGCIL sent concurrence on 27 June.
TNSLDC’s operational approval for feeder charging was recorded as expected shortly. The 10 July OCC meeting is required to confirm charging status and the result of the joint injection-pattern study ordered earlier by the 239th OCC. EnergylineIndia.com records this as relevant to Transmission infrastructure reports because the issue is grid-connection readiness, not reactor operation. Nuclear power projects require careful coordination when first-of-kind generation connects near existing atomic stations. Nuclear power projects also depend on Power Grid projects where bay ownership and SRLDC approvals are involved. Nuclear power projects now move through the final administrative charging stage. Nuclear power projects generation timelines are outside this record.
