According to data released by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Telangana's annual peak energy demand is expected to reach 18,501 MW and the anticipated energy requirement is likely to be 97,547 million units during the financial year 2024-25.
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has written to State governments and power utilities to increase their coal reserves as they might need to increase thermal production in the coming days.
As per a study conducted by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) during the period 2017-2023, the assessed hydro power potential of Telangana from major and medium schemes (having capacity above 25 MW) stood at 1302 MW.
At present, the country's largest power exchange Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) has begun trading of electricity hosting participants from Nepal on its platform.
The focus of Government is to increase the share of renewable energy which is available in plenty within the country to meet the requirement of the country and also export to our neighbouring countries.
The country's current installed generation capacity is around 3,79,000 MW. Of this coal based capacity is roughly over 2,05,000 MW while renewables is around 1,30,000 MW.
