The World's Largest Solar Park - Kurnool, India

The NRDC India team recently had a site visit to the largest solar park in the world in the district of Kurnool in the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Kurnool is home to the 1,000 MW solar park�the largest single-location operational solar park in the world.

The Kurnool Ultra Mega Solar Park is just the beginning. The Andhra Pradesh government has another massive 1,500 MW solar park slated in the region of Kadapa, and two more large scale solar parks nearing completion. With an additional 2,750 MW of solar energy set to be added to the state's energy mix, Andhra Pradesh is the one of the leading Indian states in solar energy�neck-in-neck with Telangana, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.

What is an "ultra mega solar park"?

An "ultra mega solar park" is a solar power project greater than 500 MW. India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy announced plans in 2014 to accelerate large scale solar energy with a target of achieving 20,000 MW of solar parks by 2019.
