Kamuthi Solar Power Project

[3][4] ABB commissioned five sub-stations to connect the solar park with the National Grid on 13 June 2016.

[5][6] The Kamuthi Solar Power Project was completed on 21 September 2016 with an investment of around ₹4,550 crore (equivalent to ₹65 billion or US$760 million in 2023).

[8][9] Construction of the structures needed to mount the solar panels required 30,000 tonnes of galvanised steel.

[10] Around 8,500 workers installed an average of 11 MW of capacity per day to complete the project within 8 months.

The plant relies on approximately 200,000 liters of water to keep its 25,000 modules clean each day, which has apparently been sourced from borewells nearby without consent of the respective district authority.
