When the Government of Andhra Pradesh gave private enterprises the opportunity to generate their own power, KCP rose to the challenge by establishing mini-hydel projects on the Guntur Canal. Using innovative technology, KCP developed the most cost effective way to generate power from five different canal drops. The capacity of  four of these power projects is 1.5 megawatts and the fifth is 2.25 megawatts . Construction work for three of these projects are already complete ; the other two projects are nearing completion.

The schemes are unique in that the power house is installed within the main canal itself avoiding the usage of a separate by-pass canal. .  Also, they will feature turbines of the “Semi Kaplan Variant” type which are the first of their kind in India. The cost of generating power will be less than any other mini-hydel scheme in Andhra Pradesh
