Telangana State Renewable Energy is to power 56 of its reservoirs with on-site solar energy units. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board will perform a feasibility study on utilising the resource and the board aims to deploy it from every month to reduce energy bills. Locations for solar units are already available at reservoirs, which will need 56 MWs of capacity. Sources said the board wants to reduce power consumption. More reservoirs will be added to the list later in a 10ml phase.
