Andhra Pradesh approves 7 GW solar power projects

The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has given the green light for 7 GW solar power projects across the state, a significant step towards enhancing its renewable energy portfolio. These projects aim to support agriculture, providing reliable power supply during daytime hours to meet the demands of farmers. The initiative is aligned with the state?s ambitious target to increase its renewable energy capacity, ensuring energy security and promoting sustainability.

Under this program, solar energy will be used to supply free electricity to agricultural consumers, reducing dependency on conventional sources. By implementing these projects, Andhra Pradesh hopes to mitigate the impact of rising power costs and volatile fossil fuel prices, positioning itself as a leader in India?s clean energy transition.

The approved solar projects are expected to be completed over the next few years, contributing significantly to the state?s renewable energy capacity. The initiative is also expected to attract substantial investments and generate employment opportunities in the green energy sector.

The state government plans to integrate the generated solar power into its grid, which will further stabilise supply and support economic development. With Andhra Pradesh pushing forward on solar energy development, the state is set to play a crucial role in India's journey towards achieving its renewable energy goals.
