KP Energy expands O&M portfolio, enhances tech for renewable energy assets

K.P. Energy Limited has updated its operational portfolio and technological performance for its Operations & Maintenance (O&M) verticals. The company's O&M division now manages an installed base of over 1.9 GW of solar, wind, and hybrid assets across India, with an additional ~4 GW of renewable assets under execution. These additions will further enhance the company's O&M service capabilities.

The company highlights its advanced in-house O&M platform, designed to maximize asset performance and deliver resilient cash flows. This includes a centralized Network Operations Center (NOC) for real-time monitoring and control of assets, powered by IBM Maximo Renewables, serving over 200 clients. Technological advancements feature AI-driven analytics, automated reporting, and a Unified Data Access (UDA) platform for large-scale data management.

Furthermore, KP Group's R&D Centre focuses on robotic solar panel cleaning solutions, with over 730 robots deployed and more than 1,000 in the production pipeline. These IoT-powered robots achieve ~98% cleaning efficiency, dry-cleaning 1 MW in under 3 hours, promoting sustainability and reducing water consumption. A new manufacturing facility at Por will scale production from 100 to 300 robots per month to meet rising demand.
