GE Vernova to deliver pumped-storage technology for India’s 1.35 GW Upper Sileru hydropower plant
-
GE Vernova® secured an order from Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) to deliver nine 150 megawatts (MW) pumped-storage units for the 1.35 GW Upper Sileru hydropower plant, in India.
-
The project is expected to deliver enough electricity equivalent to the annual needs of about three million homes in the country.
-
This is the second pumped-storage project with MEIL in India
VADODARA, INDIA (May 4, 2026) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today that it has secured an order from Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) to deliver nine 150 MW pumped-storage units for the 1.35 GW Upper Sileru hydropower plant, located in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The project is expected to be completed by 2030. At 1.35 GW, Upper Sileru will be among the largest pumped‑storage hydropower projects in India.
Once completed, MEIL’s Upper Sileru hydropower plant will be able to store and supply enough electricity equivalent to the annual needs of about three million Indian homes*. The Upper Sileru pumped‑storage project is expected to play a critical role in supporting India’s energy transition by providing long‑duration energy storage that helps balance growing solar and wind capacity on the national grid. With its ability to rapidly switch between pumping and generating modes, the facility will support grid reliability, peak demand management, and frequency regulation at scale.
Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited said: “The Upper Sileru pumped-storage project is a landmark development for India’s energy transition. Partnering once again with GE Vernova allows us to leverage proven pumped-storage technology to deliver reliable, large-scale energy storage that will support grid stability and enable greater integration of renewable power across the country.”
GE Vernova’s scope of work includes the design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, supply, transportation, and supervision of erection, testing and commissioning of the nine units, control and governing systems. The nine vertical Francis reversible units are designed for high efficiency, operational flexibility, and a long service life, enabling reliable performance over several decades of operation.
This project marks the second pumped-storage project GE Vernova and Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) are working on together. GE Vernova is currently delivering four 125 MW fixed speed pumped-storage units for the new Kundah hydropower plant in India.
The project will leverage GE Vernova’s engineering and manufacturing footprint in India and is expected to support local employment, skills development, and industrial capabilities during execution.
Frederic Ribieras, Hydro Power CEO, GE Vernova, said: “We are honored to be working on this second project with MEIL. Pumped-storage projects are critical to help build a more sustainable energy landscape in India and in the world, stabilizing the grid and balancing variable renewable energies- at a very large scale, and for a long lifetime.”
Pumped Storage Projects
Pumped Storage is a source of large-scale energy storage. Acting as a giant battery, it helps stabilize the grid, sustainably, with the integration of wind and solar power. GE Vernova is one of the largest players in the global pumped-Storage space with nearly 30% of the global installed base and is currently developing more than 3 GW of pumped-Storage projects around the world. GE Vernova had also recently delivered the four 250 MW pumped storage variable speed systems at the Tehri pumped-Storage Hydropower Plant for THDC India Limited’s, part of the Tehri Hydropower Complex.

Steeling the Scene: Wind Power Is Becoming More Sustainable Thanks to This Lower-Emission Material
Towering above hilltops and open plains, wind turbines are a common symbol of renewable energy and the global fight against climate change. However, even renewable power sources can leave a carbon footprint. Case in point: The tall towers that hold the energy-creating rotors and machine head aloft are made from a material that accounts for between 7% and 9% of all human-made greenhouse gas emissions: steel.

About The Inspirational Learning Group
The Inspirational Learning Group develop and deliver innovative career solutions for students, education institutes and employers across the U.K. and beyond. We are proud to have engaged and positively influenced over 600,000 students through our flagship programme, The National Careers Challenge, our real-life business challenge that enables young people to develop crucial key employability skills, vital for the ever-changing world of work. Our portfolio also includes additional programmes such as our Stocks & Shares Challenge, My Perfect University, Team Building challenges and summer school provision. As the partner of choice for outreach activity of several large, high-profile organisations such as NatWest and GE Vernova, TILG are being increasingly relied on to create truly bespoke education and outreach initiatives to support development, social mobility and inclusion. We are changing the way that young people are educated about their future world of work, engaging, inspiring, and motivating them to succeed.
