Out of which, the government land is 3,494.29 acres, the assigned land is 1,674.14 acres, and the patta land is 514.79 acres. Infrastructure installations like roads, rain spouts, and water supply networks were supplied by APSPCL. It can generate 282 jobs. The expert workers will get 499 jobs, semi-skilled workers 228, and unskilled 555.

The Indian public government handed an allotment of ₹ 2 million per MW to APSPCL. Of the park’s total 1000MW, 500 MW was developed by GreenKo (transferred from Sun Edison), 350 MW by SoftBank Energy, 100 MW by Azure Power, and the final 50 MW by Adani.

The Kurnool Ultra Mega Solar Park generated over 800 million units of energy by October 2017 and saved over 700,000 tons of carbon dioxide. Addressing water deficiency concerns, the entire park's water needs including water used for cleaning solar panels and supplying water — are met through a reservoir created for rainwater harvesting.
