Kurukutti PSP is a standalone pumped storage scheme envisaged with an installed capacity of 1200 MW (8400 MWH storage capacity), located in the Salur Taluka of Vizianagaram District, Andhra Pradesh. The scheme envisages recycling of stored water between upper reservoir and lower reservoir (common for both Kurukutti and Karrivalasa
PSPs) located across Boduru Gedda river, a tributary of Suvarnamukhi river in Nagavali river basin. It utilizes available gross head of about 589 m and envisages non-consumptive utilization of 11.0 Mm3 (0.39 TMC) of water by recirculation between upper and lower reservoirs on a weekly basis.
The capital cost of the project is Rs. 4766 Crores at 2020-21 price level including Interest During Construction (IDC) of Rs. 538 Crores. The project is expected to be operational within a period of five (5) years from the date of award of civil works package.
