These orders include 30 substation projects of up to 220 kV spread across 10 states – Punjab, Rajasthan, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Bihar. The company will provide complete turnkey solutions for these projects and execute post-inverter works covering the design, engineering, supply, installation, automation and commissioning of the power plant electrification. One of the key orders is for a 220 kV substation project, which is a part of a 100 MW project in Telangana. The company has connected 340 MW of solar power to the grid and commissioned substations for 598 MW of solar projects in 2016-17. With a presence in 17 states, Hartek Power is also aggressively eyeing business opportunities in states with vast solar potential like Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. It is especially focusing on consolidating its position in south Indian states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, which offer immense business opportunities in the form of bigger projects, as well as traditionally well-performing states like Rajasthan.
