In a recent discussion on the energy sector in the assembly, Energy Minister Gottipati Ravikumar outlined Andhra Pradesh's ambitious plans to boost green energy production and exports. The state is targeting to export 3,000 tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, signaling its intent to become a major player in renewable energy. Notable projects include the establishment of a green hydrogen hub in Pudimadaka, an investment of Rs 1.85 lakh crore in partnership with NTPC and Nredcap. Additionally, collaborations with companies like Reliance and Tata Renewable Energy Limited will further enhance the state's renewable energy capacity. The government's focus on sustainability is evident through initiatives like setting up 500 compressed biogas (CBG) plants and introducing battery storage systems for the first time in the state. These efforts align with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's vision to position Andhra Pradesh as a green energy hub. Minister Ravikumar also highlighted significant achievements in the power sector, such as record power generation and reduced electricity purchases. The government's commitment to providing quality electricity to consumers and farmers, without increasing charges, reflects its dedication to sustainable development.
