The project is part of the 1,200 MW auction capacity of Inter-State Transmission System.

Apraava Energy, a leading integrated energy solutions provider, has secured a 300 MW wind energy project in Aski, Karnataka. The project is part of the 1,200 MW auction capacity of Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS)-connected wind power projects (Tranche-XIV) from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

The construction of the project will be completed within the stipulated timelines as per Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), which is for a period of 25 years at a competitive tariff of INR 3.24/kWh.

Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, Managing Director, Apraava Energy, said, "This is our third wind project in the state of Karnataka, which offers tremendous opportunities for RE growth. The government's efforts through SECI and other federal agencies have been instrumental in bringing much-needed transparency to the bids, resulting in the accelerated growth of renewable energy and bringing the nation closer to its ambitious energy transition goals."

As part of the agreement, Apraava Energy will be responsible for acquiring the land, developing the wind farm, and establishing the grid infrastructure up to the metering point at the ISTS grid substation. The company's current RE portfolio (Solar and Wind) stands at 1,176 MW, with projects spread across the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Karnataka.
