details about demand from Telangana government for inclusion in power for all scheme
Q: Hey, i heard that there have been some demands for the Telangana government to be included in the power for all scheme. Can someone give me details about the same?
However, AP had been denying Telangana its share of power generated in upper and lower Sileru hydro-electric and Krishnapatnam thermal generation stations, besides scrapping some power purchase agreements.
Yes, i am in agreement with the comments below me, and would like to contribute that the State also has the highest number of pump-sets, over 18 lakh, in the country.
The State authorities have explained to the Centre the present demand-supply gap of about 3.5 million units every day in spite of some scheduled load shedding to agriculture and industrial sectors.
Let me tell you that under the project, the Centre extends technical and financial assistance to the State in capacity addition, improving energy efficiency by reducing transmission and distribution losses and encouraging energy conservation with the help of new technologies
From what i can tell, the Centre’s decision to include Telangana in the programme follows Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s pursuance of the matter with the Prime Minister and other functionaries at the Centre after Andhra Pradesh was selected for the scheme last year.
The “Power for All” programme envisages supply of round-the-clock quality, reliable and affordable power to all domestic, commercial and industrial consumers within a fixed time frame and also ensures adequate supply to the agriculture sector daily.
Yeah, i agree with the comment below me and the State officials have assured the visiting team of preparing and sending the report by April-end. The team led by Mr. Arora also called on Chief Secretary Rajiv Sharma in the evening.
Did you know that the Central team was learnt to have suggested to the State government officials to send them the detailed project report at the earliest so that it could be taken up in the next few months.
The Central team held lengthy discussions with authorities of the Energy Department and officials of the generation and transmission corporations and two power distribution companies. I hope this helps,
I wanted to tell you that according to official sources, the Central team led by Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Power, Jyoti Arora, comprised officials from the Ministry and the Central Electricity Authority (CEA).
Yeah, the state has sent an eight-member team to the city on Monday to guide the State authorities in preparing a detailed project report. This can only be seen as a positive development
Well, here is what i can tell you. The efforts of the Telangana government for the State’s inclusion in the Centre’s “24x7 - Power for All” programme has finally bore fruit.
