"We feel committed to the region and look forward to delivering the new project ahead of schedule," stated Group Chief Executive Officer of Sterlite Power, Pratik Agarwal.
The project will include six substations with a capacity of 1.544 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA).
According to a statement from Sterlite Power, Brazil’s transmission system needs to undergo a major overhaul to add significantly more power generation capacity if it is to successfully transform from a hydro, thermal power based system to one more reliant on renewable energy.
