The Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) is spearheading an innovative initiative to integrate renewable energy sources at its thermal power stations in Karnataka. The project involves setting up 100.1 MW ground-mounted solar power projects at Ballari, Yermarus, and Raichur Thermal Power Stations to balance energy generation and increase capacity. This move also aims to save costs by optimizing solar energy production during the day. Additionally, a green hydrogen project with a 300 KW plant is being established at Ballari Thermal Power Station, allowing the utilization of green hydrogen for the thermal plant's technical requirements. The state's Energy Department, led by KPCL, is striving for sustainable capacity enhancement to meet the growing power demand, expected to peak at 19,000 MW during the upcoming summer. The project costs are estimated at ₹411.4 crore for the solar power projects and ₹13.08 crore for the green hydrogen plant, with a private entity handling installation and maintenance for a period of three years. This initiative signifies a positive step towards promoting renewable energy integration and sustainable development in Karnataka.
