Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s native village, Kondareddypally, has become India’s second and South India’s first 100 per cent solar-powered village.

Thanks to the Telangana government’s green energy mission, Kondareddypally has achieved the distinction of becoming south India’s first fully solar-powered village.

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 11 government office buildings are powered with 60 KW solar units.

According to an official statement, even the 34 mud-walled homes will be covered soon, once pucca houses are built under the Indiramma housing scheme.

Each house now generates 360 units of electricity
