CleanMax Plans INR 50,000 Crore Investment for 3 GW RE, 1 GW PSP in Andhra Pradesh
CleanMax has signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board to invest nearly INR 50,000 crore in 3 GW of wind and solar capacity and 1 GW of pumped hydro storage to power a Green Compute Factory in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh.

The proposed integrated energy infrastructure will support a 2 GW Green Compute Factory being developed in collaboration with Neysa, an artificial intelligence (AI) cloud provider, which has signed an MoU with CleanMax to anchor the facility with 1 GW of IT load.
The projects will be developed in phases, with at least 1.5 GW of renewable energy capacity proposed to be commissioned by 2029. CleanMax will also develop power infrastructure and supply electricity to the compute facility through an integrated system combining renewable energy generation, pumped hydro storage and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The company plans to develop its own power distribution network within the compute park through a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which will apply to the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) for a distribution licence.
CleanMax said that the integrated model would combine wind and solar generation with pumped hydro and battery storage to balance supply and meet round-the-clock electricity demand. The dedicated power infrastructure will be developed alongside the compute facility to align energy generation, storage and distribution with its requirements.
The Green Compute Factory will adopt direct-to-chip cooling technologies to limit water consumption and use water allocated for industrial purposes by the local administration.
Commenting on the development, Kuldeep Jain, Founder and Managing Director, Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions, said, “Compute is becoming one of the largest new sources of power demand, and it needs clean energy that is available every hour of the day. In Andhra Pradesh, we are planning generation, storage and distribution integrated with the compute load they serve, rather than one after the other. Andhra Pradesh's clean energy policy framework and its strong wind and solar resources make it the right place to build this model at scale.”
CleanMax has also outlined social responsibility initiatives, including infrastructure upgrades for local primary schools and Anganwadis in partnership with United Way of Hyderabad, and skill development programmes with Pratham Education Foundation to train local youth for entry-level compute factory jobs. The programmes will also cover advanced cooling and power systems for final-year students at local ITIs and engineering colleges.
Neysa will additionally provide computing resources to leading research institutions in Andhra Pradesh.
