Andhra Pradesh Prepares Power Supply Plan to Address El Niño Impact
Andhra Pradesh government has developed a comprehensive power supply plan for September and October to address potential El Niño impacts and ensure uninterrupted electricity. Special Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand noted that thermal power generation was reduced in August due to maintenance and technical issues, yet the state met a 20% growth in average daily grid demand compared to last year. Peak demand is expected to reach 13,500 MW in September. The Power Coordination Committee and DISCOMs have invited DEEP tenders to secure power for the coming year.
