Integrated Renewable Energy Project (IREP)

Introduction

Pinnapuram Integrated Renewable Energy Project has been conceived as the World’s First & Largest Gigawatt Scale integrated project with Solar, Wind and Pumped Storage components that can supply Schedulable Power On Demand (SPOD) which is Dispatchable & Schedulable Renewable Energy for the first time to consumers across .

Government of (GoAP) approved the project with 1000 MW Solar, 550 MW Wind & 1200 MW of Standalone Pumped Storage capacities to be developed in Phase I with possibility to enhance capacities in subsequent stages to 3000 MW Solar, 2000 MW Wind & 2400 MW Standalone Pumped Storage depending on technical feasibility, site suitability and associated requirements and demand from various State DISCOMs/STUs and other consumers. GoAP has also allocated 1 TMC of water for establishing the 1200 MW Pumped Storage component with 9 hour storage capacity

Standalone Pumped Storage component of Pinnapuram IREP is located in District of Andhra Pradesh. Pinnapuram IREP will comprise of two reservoirs to be constructed in existing natural depressions with low height embankments of average height 12-14m (with maximum height 40m) to create the desired storage capacity.

This Project is standalone in nature and both the reservoirs are located away from all existing natural water systems and have no/negligible catchment area. Water will be lifted one time from existing Gorakallu Reservoir irrigation system and will be stored in the reservoirs to be constructed and used cyclically for energy storage and discharge. Evaporation losses, if any will be recouped periodically. This Project envisages non-consumptive re-utilization of 1TMC of water for recirculation among two proposed reservoirs.

About Us

The Geographical coordinates of the proposed Pinnapuram upper reservoir are at longitude 78° 15' 13" East and latitude is 15° 36' 26" North and that of lower reservoir are 78° 15' 30" E and 15° 37' 26" N.

Pinnapuram village is located in Panyam Tehsil/Mandal of in Andhra Pradesh, India. It is situated 15kms away from sub-district headquarter Panyam and 60kms away from district headquarter Kurnool. The site is easily approachable by NH-18 from Kurnool. Nearest railway head is Kurnool from where project site is located at around 81kms away.

Environmental Aspects

Upper and lower reservoir for Pinnapuram IREP will be constructed newly and the onetime filling of the reservoirs will be taken up from existing Gorakallu reservoir. There will be submergence of land required for the proposed Pinnapuram reservoir for the Pinnapuram IREP. Also, the land required is for the construction of power house complex and its apparent works viz., Intake structure, penstocks, powerhouse, Tail Race Channel etc. The land required for the construction of various components is about 714Ha including submergence by formation of Pinnapuram IREP Upper & Lower reservoirs. The project components of Pinnapuram IREP are in Gani forest under Kurnool Range. Based on assessment of environmental impacts, management plans have to be formulated for Catchment Area Treatment, compensatory afforestation and other environmental issues like rehabilitation & resettlement.
