REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited (RECPDCL) has signed project implementation agency and distribution department framework agreements with Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL). These agreements pertain to the deployment of 3.32 million smart prepaid meters under Phase II of the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS).
The project will reportedly be implemented under the design, build, finance, own, operate, and transfer model. RECPDCL has also signed an advanced metering infrastructure service provider contract with Bharat Grid, a partnership venture between Actis and EDF India. Bharat Grid will replace conventional meters in PGVCL’s distribution network with smart prepaid meters.
In June 2025, RECPDCL floated a tender to develop a 2,000 MW intrastate transmission system to evacuate power from a planned solar park in Ryapte village, Tumkur district, Karnataka.
