AP Govt s 1000 MW Solar Project To Ensure 9 Hours Uninterrupted Power To Farmers While Reducing Losses Feb 05, 2021, 11:06 IST
The Andhra Pradesh Government’s tender for the development of6,400 MW solar power plant with an aim of reducing the subsidy burden resulting from the supply of uninterrupted free power to farmers across the state has made headlines in the recent past. The process has resulted in Government securing close to 14,000 million units of power per annum at a tariff of 2.48 per kWh, which is the significantly lower than the tariff at which AP Distribution Utilities are procuring power. Supply of free power to farmers is of paramount importance. However, this entails a huge subsidy burden on the state government. The state is having to incur close to Rs. 10,000 crores as a subsidy to meet the revenue gap of Distribution utilities.
