State-run Rural Electrification Corporation plans to diversify into power generation by setting up renewable energy projects with an investment of about Rs 2,800 crore in the next five years, through its subsidiary REC Power Distribution Company.

The company aims to have around 300 to 400 MW capacity in renewable energy while it expects investments around Rs 6-7 crore per MW. The company is in discussions with a number of players for the same and it has already approached the Himachal Pradesh government for setting up about five to seven hydro electric projects, mini or small hydro electric projects, which can be completed within an year or year-and-a-half.

REC will like to have projects that have a Plant Load Factor (PLF) of 50% or more. Generally, PLF indicates the average capacity utilization of a particular plant.

Recently, REC has invited technical bids from domestic and international developers to award Rs 1,300 crore contract for laying transmission system in Andhra Pradesh. The contract involves laying two high capacity transmission lines of 250 km length each for connecting various independent power stations in Vemagiri to Hyderabad.
