Vijayawada: Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy talked about on Wednesday that AP would bag 93 million objects of energy — 45mu from Photo voltaic Vitality Corporation in three years and 48mu from local energy objects quickly — to serve overcome the energy shortage within the sigh.
The CM chaired a high-diploma evaluate meeting on vitality with minister Peddireddy Ramachandra and prime officers. He talked about that following the signing of a pact with SECI, they’d bag 18mu in the direction of the stop of 2023 in portion-I, adopted by 18mu in portion-II and nine mu within the third portion.
He talked about AP would also bag extra energy to the tune of 800mw from Krishnapatnam and 800mw from VTPS as well to getting 30mu if 85 per cent plant load factor is believed to be. This is able to presumably well steal the full availability of 48mu of energy within the sigh soon.
He directed the officers to expedite completion of the fresh energy mission with a capability of 1,350mw at Sileru.
The officers told the CM that they’d call the tenders for the Sileru energy mission soon because the DPR became once already ready. They promised to bag 800mw of energy from the Krishnapatnam energy mission by July-August.
The CM requested officers to gallop up the works on Polavaram hydel energy mission of 800mw capability, so that AP would possibly presumably well realise the dream of having surplus energy.
The CM directed the officers to make certain continuous supply of energy to the industrial sector to take care of a long way off from any negative affect on the sigh’s financial system and laid stress on the preparation of an action thought absorbing stakeholders to present energy as per want. He pressured that AP will have confidence to unruffled no longer face energy disaster within the following summer.
The CM requested officers to adopt the top likely replace mode of energy generation by taking on pumped- storage hydro energy projects as AP became once conducive for initiation of such projects at 29 locations, and felt the must take in land acquisition for such projects. This would serve generate 33,240mw of energy from these projects.
He talked about once these projects had been done, it would serve the sigh make a choice a long way off from energy fetch at greater rates to beat shortage of energy all the top likely scheme thru height hours. Once these projects are done, they’d make a choice supplying energy for 90 years, Jagan added.
The CM underscored the must remit free energy charges into the bank accounts of the beneficiary farmers so that they’d, in flip, pay to the Discoms thru DBT. He laid stress on quality energy supply.
The officers told the CM that a pilot mission taken up in Srikakulam to repair meter for free energy connection became once a hit. The farmers had been paying charges straight from their accounts. A total of 101.51 mu of energy became once consumed for 26,083 energy connections within the district in 2020-22. The preference of connections had long gone as much as 28,393 by 2021-22 with energy consumption recorded at 67.76mu. The reforms and the recount payment by the farmers helped assign 33.75mu of energy even because the preference of energy connections went up.
The CM requested official to enforce the YSR Jala Kala in a clear manner and talked about they had been offering tools price Rs 2 lakh for electrification works as well to offering a motor freed from payment.
On the opposite hand, the officers briefed the CM about the short supply of coal nation-wide. This, they talked about, became once having its affect on the energy sector and that just a few states had been going thru short supply of coal ensuing from disruption in supply chain.
They talked about that the railway authorities had been unable to rearrange ample preference of rakes for transport and vessels had been also no longer readily on the market as per requirement.
The Centre has hinted about a continuation of the coal disaster for the following two years. In step with this, the CM requested officers them to reach up with an action thought, defending in solutions the ask for fetch of coal.
The officers also told the CM they purchased energy by paying Rs 36.5 crore per day on an common in March and 34.08 crore in April to take care of a long way off from any trouble to the energy patrons. “We purchased 1,268.69mu of energy at Rs 1,123.74 crore in March and 1,047.78mu of energy at Rs 1,022.42 crore in April.”
