Andhra Pradesh Increases Power Generation and Infrastructure to Meet Rising Demand
Andhra Pradesh's daily power demand has risen to 290 million units, prompting increased generation by AP-Genco and procurement from other sources to ensure uninterrupted supply, according to Energy Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar. The state is investing around ₹6,000 crore in power infrastructure, including substations and network upgrades. Thermal power generation also rose 13.1% in the first half of FY 2026-27, aided by alternative coal sourcing and advance planning amid El Niño-related demand increases, as reported by Special Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand.
