Amaravati, February 10, 2026: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu chaired a high-level meeting where Energy Chief Secretary K Vijayanand detailed the state's hybrid energy strategy. Andhra Pradesh emphasises solar, wind, hydro, and green hydrogen as core sources, limiting thermal power to grid stability only.
This aligns with the NITI Aayog's Energy Transition Blueprint (2025–2035) and aims to cut average power purchase costs to Rs 4.20 per unit by 2030 and Rs 3.90 by 2035.
Key efforts include expanding the PM-KUSUM scheme for free daytime solar power to nearly 3 lakh agricultural pumps, rooftop solar installations for over 20 lakh SC/ST households (1,198 MWp capacity) and ongoing procurement for 27.59 lakh BC households, plus 150 MW on government buildings.
A 1.5 GW/3 GWh battery storage system boosts reliability, while Rs 70,000 crore Green Energy Corridor investments 60% from private bids upgrade transmission with advanced tech like HTLS and GIS.
