Krishna Milk Union (KMU), an Andhra Pradesh’s dairy cooperative, has commissioned a 650 kW rooftop solar installation at its plant in Veeravalli, Krishna District, reinforcing its long-term sustainability vision while lowering energy costs.

Executed by Eshaan Energy, the project uses RenewSys N-Type 600 Wp modules paired with Sungrow string inverters, mounted on reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures for optimized performance and durability.

Before adopting solar, the dairy’s average daily energy consumption stood at around 6,000 units. With the new system in place, KMU expects to reduce its electricity bills by nearly 50%, significantly strengthening operational efficiency.

The installation did not involve major site or policy hurdles, allowing Eshaan Energy to complete the project on schedule. The company ensured full compliance with local power distribution and the Chief Electrical Inspector to the Government norms during the integration of the system into the plant’s distribution network.

“This milestone underscores our commitment to delivering efficient, long-lasting solar energy systems backed by world-class equipment and workmanship,” said Burra Phani Chandra, Founder & CEO, Eshaan Energy.

For KMU, the shift to solar aligns with its sustainability roadmap and the broader dairy sector’s push to adopt decentralized clean energy solutions that reduce operational costs and carbon footprint.

Eshaan Energy had previously installed a 750 kW shed-mounted solar system for Prakasa Spectro Cast in Enikepadu, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh.

Mercom India hosts a multicity ‘C&I Clean Energy Meet’ series designed to provide commercial and industrial energy buyers with the knowledge and tools they need to adopt clean energy solutions and lower their power costs. The next C&I Clean Energy Meet will be held in Nashik on January 9, 2026.
