The state of Andhra Pradesh achieved a significant milestone in renewable energy output with the inauguration of the Kurnool Ultra Mega Solar Park (1000 MW) in Orvakal, Kurnool district on January 8, 2019. The solar park was inaugurated by N Chandrababu Naidu during his visit to the Kurnool. This solar park is the third-largest in the world at a single site, after the Tengger Desert Solar Park (1547 MW) in China and the Bhadla Solar Park (1365 MW) in India.
