🔸 2nd in India, 1st in South India
🔸 ₹10.53 Cr Project | 1,500 KW Solar Power
🔸 1 Lakh Units Exported to Grid in Sept | ₹5 Lakh Earned
🔸 Sanctioned to install solar energy panels to 514 Homes + 11 Govt. Buildings.
Hyderabad, Sept. 27: A quiet village in Telangana is now shining bright on the map of India’s renewable energy revolution. Kondareddypally, the native village of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, has achieved the rare distinction of becoming South India’s first fully solar-powered village, thanks to the Telangana Government’s green energy mission.
Power in Every Home
Spread across Vangoor Mandal in Nagarkurnool district, the project covers 514 houses and 11 government buildings. Already, 480 houses are running on 3 KW rooftop panels, while schools and offices (11) Givt Buildings are powered with 60 KW solar units. Even the 34 mud-walled homes will be covered soon, once their Indiramma houses are ready.
Each house now generates 360 units of electricity per month, ensuring uninterrupted power and eliminating monthly electricity bills.
A Village That Earns From the Sun
What makes Kondareddypally stand apart is not just self-reliance, but also income generation. Surplus energy is supplied to the grid at ₹5.25 per unit. In September alone, the village exported 1 lakh units, earning nearly ₹5 lakh in one month — a first-of-its-kind story of villagers becoming green entrepreneurs.
- Collective Effort, Shared Gains
- The project worth ₹10.53 crore is powered by:
- ₹3.56 crore subsidy from the Centre
- ₹4.09 crore CSR funding from M/s Premier Energies
- ₹2.59 crore towards infrastructure
- Executed by TGREDCO with community participation
Villagers proudly say they have not only become self-sufficient but are also contributing clean energy to Telangana’s grid.
“A Model for the Nation”
Officials describe Kondareddypally as a model solar village, blending modern technology with rural life. The project is seen as a milestone in the Telangana Government’s efforts to reduce carbon footprint, promote renewable energy, and strengthen rural economies.
Now, this once-ordinary village stands as an extraordinary example — a story of how government vision, corporate support, and people’s participation can together create sustainable change.
