Kutch Green Energy Corridor to Supply 10 Gigawatts of Clean Power to National Industrial Grid by 2027
Massive hybrid wind-solar installations and desalinated green hydrogen plants near completion along the Arabian coastline.
The project, which integrates bifacial solar tracking arrays with tall-mast offshore-grade wind turbines, marked a significant milestone today with the energization of the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission corridor connecting Bhuj with central Gujarat’s industrial demand nodes.
Engineers on site highlighted the technological hurdles overcome, including specialized corrosion-resistant metallurgy for coastal salinity and automated dry-cleaning robotic wipers that keep photovoltaic modules pristine without depleting scarce local freshwater supplies.
State power authorities anticipate that by mid-2027, the Kutch corridor will offset more than 45 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, directly powering heavy chemical complexes, steel rolling mills, and automobile assembly corridors in Vadodara and Sanand.
