Amaravati: Energy Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar held a review meeting to assess the achievements of the energy department in the first 100 days of the coalition government. The minister focused on key programs, especially the provision of electricity connections to farmers.

So far, 12,000 new agricultural connections have been provided, with over 5,000 in the APSPDCL region. The goal is to reach 40,000 connections. A new system allows farmers to apply for connections by calling a toll-free number (1912), making the process easier and more transparent.

The minister also discussed the progress of setting up electric vehicle (EV) charging stations through public-private partnerships and reviewed the development of solar parks in the state. He emphasized the importance of creating jobs as part of these projects.

The AP Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024, aimed at promoting clean energy, will be launched soon.
