Towards Net Zero Kuppam Constituency – Decarbonisation through Distributed Renewable Energy

Reduce dependence on fossil-intensive grid electricity by expanding local solar generation across households, institutions, agriculture, and industry.
Solarise 36,459 agricultural services through approximately 141 MW of PM-KUSUM feeder-level capacity.
Use smart meters and rooftop solar in Nadimuru to verify household generation, consumption, export, and bill savings.
Reduce distribution losses and local network loading by placing distributed energy resources closer to consumers and feeders.
Use the planned 50 MW/100 MWh battery system to absorb daytime solar and support peak and non-solar-hour demand.

Conduct ground surveys of roofs, land, consumer services, feeders, transformers, substations, and existing renewable assets.
Verify scheme eligibility and beneficiary lists for PM-KUSUM, PM Surya Ghar, hostels, and household solarisation.
Complete hosting-capacity, voltage, protection, evacuation, and metering studies with Kuppam RESCO and APSPDCL.
NREDCAP executes procurement and installation, followed by inspection, synchronisation, commissioning, and asset handover.
Use smart-meter and BESS data to track energy yield, consumer savings, peak reduction, losses, and avoided emissions.

A coordinated portfolio of approximately 332.146 MW of commissioned and work-in-progress solar and storage-related capacity has been identified.
PM-KUSUM feeder solarisation covers 36,459 agricultural services with approximately 141 MW of proposed solar capacity.
Nadimuru establishes a 98-household smart-metered solar model for verifying units generated, imported, exported, and saved.
Ground-survey, grid-integration, metering, and monitoring requirements are now defined across households, hostels, institutions, agriculture, and industry.
Consumer savings, loss reduction, and emissions benefits will be reported from verified pre- and post-commissioning operational data.
