AFRY to design Greenko’s large-scale Shahpur pumped storage project in India

Greenko has entrusted AFRY with the detailed design engineering of the 1,800 MW Shahpur pumped hydro energy storage project in Rajasthan, marking a significant step towards the state’s enhanced energy resilience and advancing India’s clean energy transition.

Greenko Group, India's leading renewable energy company, operates a portfolio of 7.5 GW in clean energy assets across solar, wind, and hydroelectric projects. The group is dedicated to driving the energy transition with large-scale, integrated renewable projects that combine generation with advanced energy storage. The Shahpur pumped storage project is set to play an important role in this vision, enabling efficient storage and distribution of clean energy across the region and strengthening the country’s renewable infrastructure.

Greenko has appointed AFRY as the design consultant for the Shahpur project. AFRY’s assignment encompasses the detailed design, construction supervision, and on-site engineering support through its resident engineer.

“This is a landmark moment for the renewable energy development in the region, and we are proud to be confirmed as Greenko’s trusted partner for this new project – a testament to our team’s expertise and dedication in accelerating the energy transition, demonstrated in previous collaborations”, said Sai Seela, Managing Director, AFRY India.

Greenko has previously pioneered one of the world’s first and largest Integrated Renewable Energy Storage projects at Pinnapuram, featuring 3,000 MW of solar, 550 MW of wind, and 1,680 MW of pumped hydro with 4 hours cycle operation of storage twice a day. AFRY then served as the principal detailed design consultant for the pumped storage plant.
