Green energy to light up the world in future: Bhatti
Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka has asserted that the future belongs to green power and Telangana is moving forward with strategic planning by prioritizing this sector. The Deputy CM visited the Greenko Integrated Power Project in Pinnapuram village of Orvakal Mandal in Kurnool district on Saturday. Highlighting Telangana's vision for boosting renewable energy, he said that MoUs worth ₹1 lakh crore had been signed for green power generation in Telangana. He noted that the Telangana government had introduced the 2025 New Energy Policy, aiming to achieve 20,000 MW green power by 2029–30. Bhatti observed that, with power demand increasing across the country, the Telangana government was exploring various avenues to enhance power generation and move toward surplus electricity. 'Every product in the world requires electricity. To increase production, electricity supply must be abundant. If production increases, employment and the state's GDP will grow. It's a continuous cycle,' he said. Bhatti Vikramarka pointed out that electricity consumption was rising across India, and if power was generated solely through coal, it would increase costs and pollution, impacting the environment. Hence, like elsewhere in the world, the nation was rapidly shifting toward green power, he emphasized. As part of his visit, the Deputy Chief Minister conducted an aerial survey of the project site via helicopter. He inspected key infrastructure including the upper and lower reservoirs of the closed-loop pumped storage system, the powerhouse complex, and the advanced substation. The Deputy CM reviewed the integration of solar, wind, and 1,680 MW of hydro pumped storage with a storage cycle of four hours, twice daily. Telangana principal secretary to Energy Department Sandeep Kumar Sultania, TRANSCO CMD Krishna Bhaskar, GENCO CMD Harish and others were present on the occasion.
