Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday will lay the foundation for the ₹15,000-crore hybrid Pinnapuram solar wind-pumped storage project being developed by the Greenko Group.
The Chief Minister is scheduled to reach the 5,230-MW project site at Gummitham Tanda near Brahmanapalli in Orvakal mandal at 11.35 a.m. and spend an hour there, said Collector P. Koteswara Rao.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed for the project between the Greenko and the Andhra Pradesh government in February 2018, after a pre-feasibility study. The detailed design and engineering contract for the pumped-storage component of the project was awarded in March, 2020.
