Greenko Group, one of the world’s leading Energy Transition and Decarbonisation solutions company, is now in the advanced stage of constructing the 1,680 MW Pumped Storage Hydropower Project (PSHP) at Pinnapuram. According to a Greenko engineer participating in the project, it is scheduled for “dry commissioning” by the end of March. It should be fully operational in another three months or possibly later.
Austria-brd With its unique “water to wire” approach, Andritz Hydro Pvt Ltd serves hydropower projects in India and Southeast Asia, and it is rapidly completing the electro-mechanical work required to install eight units. A pair of generator-reversible turbine sets have already been installed and are currently undergoing final manufacture.
Completing the hydrological and other civil works by Megha Engineering & Infrastructure Limited (MEIL) is around the corner. The construction of upper and lower reservoirs with 1.30 TMCFT each of live storage capacity and 0.50 TMCFT and 0.40 TMCFT of dead storage, respectively, is almost over. The water source is the Gorakallu reservoir.
This PSHP and a 3,000 MW solar and a 550 MW wind power project (coming up in Kurnool and Nandyal districts) constitute the Pinnapuram Integrated Renewable Energy Project (PREP).
Of the 3,000 MW solar component, 700 MW of solar power is likely to begin by the end of March 2024, and 300 MW of wind capacity is poised to be available around the same time.
Greenko is the developer of Pinnapuram IREP, India’s largest, with an aggregate capacity of 5,230 MW. It is conceived as the world’s largest gigawatt-scale integrated project with solar, wind, and pumped storage components that can supply schedulable power on demand.
New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of AP Vice-Chairman & Managing Director S. Ramana Reddy told a news source that PSHPs were the most commonly used commercially viable large-scale electricity storage technology worldwide.
The slew of PSHPs undertaken by the NREDCAP were in pursuance of the State’s objective to increase the share of renewables in the total energy mix. These projects lend stability to the grid. Techno-commercial feasibility reports were prepared for projects with a potential of 33,240 MW.
