VIJAYAWADA: The APTRANSCO is working on a project to improve power infrastructure in Rayalaseema and coastal regions so that excess solar power generated by AP Green Energy Corporation Ltd (APGECL) can be transmitted between the two regions. The move is expected to help increase the overall electricity supply reliability and quality levels, and provide economic benefits to the power sector and the state, as well.
The APTRANSCO will also set up the first gas insulated sub-station (GIS) in Andhra Pradesh at Tallayapallem which will provide reliable and high-quality power, and improve voltage levels in Krishna and Guntur districts. Such sub-stations also reduce maintenance cost.

VIJAYAWADA: Citing that the investors sentiment was poor due to the state government’s earlier attempt to review renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) and that developers need more time to study the project, solar energy companies have made a representation to the State to extend the time for submitting bids for the 6,400 megawatts (MW) solar power plants proposed to be setup to meet the free agriculture power demand.
