KSEB pinning hopes on Kakkayam pumped storage project
The Kerala State Electricity Board has commissioned Tata Consulting Engineers to conduct studies for the proposed 800-1,000 MW Kakkayam pumped storage project. This project aims to utilize surplus grid power to manage electricity demand by pumping water between two reservoirs.
Why it matters
Pumped storage projects are essential for grid stability and renewable energy integration, representing a major infrastructure investment.
The Kakkayam pumped storage project (PSP), for which the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) entered into an agreement with Tata Consulting Engineers Ltd., could provide an installed capacity between 800 megawatts (MW) and 1,000 MW, making it one of the biggest PSPs currently under the active consideration of the KSEB.
