Telangana to Boost Solar Power: Deputy CM Directs Collectors to Expedite Installation on Government Buildings
Gadwal: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu announced that, under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, the entire Cabinet has decided to significantly expand solar power generation in the state. On Saturday, speaking from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Secretariat, the Deputy CM conducted a review meeting with District Collectors on two key initiatives — installation of solar power plants on government buildings and implementation of the Indira Solar Tribal Development Scheme on ROFR (Recognition of Forest Rights) lands. During the meeting, the Deputy CM directed all District Collectors to send parking area and canteen layout plans of their collectorate offices to Hyderabad. Since all district collectorate buildings have been constructed using the same design pattern, the required designs for installing solar power plants will be sent from Hyderabad to ensure uniformity. He stated that solar power plants will be installed in all government offices across the state, ranging from Gram Panchayat buildings to the State Secretariat, to produce electricity on a large scale. Collectors were instructed to submit all required details for solar plant installation to the Principal Secretary of the Energy Department within a week. In addition to government offices, solar power plants will also be installed on the rooftops of government schools, junior colleges, degree colleges, and higher educational institutions. The Deputy CM asked Collectors to send detailed lists of such buildings at the earliest. Referring to the Indira Solar Tribal Development Scheme, he said the government is implementing it as a prestigious program and urged Collectors to avoid any delays, ensuring that all relevant details are sent within the stipulated time. Officials from the Energy Department also participated in the video conference alongside the District Collectors.

Bhatti seeks Centre's nod for new transmission proposal
Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu appealed to Union Minister of Power Manohar Lal Khattar to approve intra-state transmission system proposals submitted by TSTRANSCO under Green Energy Corridor – Phase 3 (GEC-III).

Later, after extensive consultations with SECI and TGREDCO, and considering land availability and renewable energy potential, the RE zones were revised to 19 GW, now covering eight districts of the state. In accordance with this revision, TSTRANSCO prepared and submitted a comprehensive proposal to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), comprising 8 transmission schemes with a cumulative power evacuation capacity of 19 GW and an estimated project cost of Rs 6,895 crore. In this context, the Deputy CM urged the Union Minister to expedite the approval of the proposals covering 8 schemes (districts) for evacuating 19 GW of power.

Telangana Dy CM dedicates 1st unit of Yadadri Thermal Power Plant
Nalgonda, Aug 1 (UNI) Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu said the 4,000 MW Yadadri Thermal Power Plant will be fully dedicated to the nation by January next year. Speaking after dedicating the first 800 MW unit to the nation on Friday and laying the foundation stone for an integrated township at the project site, to be developed at a cost of Rs 970 crore, Bhatti Vikramarka termed the event 'historic' for meeting the state's power needs. He said the project was delayed for nearly two years due to the previous government's failure to secure environmental clearances, which increased costs significantly. 'After the present Congress government came to power, clearances were obtained in just two months, and two units totaling 1,600 MW were completed by setting weekly and monthly targets,' he explained. The Deputy CM announced that employees working at the remote site would be provided with world-class educational institutions, corporate-level medical facilities, and local welfare measures. Free education and healthcare will also be extended to local residents who cooperated in the project's construction, along with ambulance services and road development. He assured that those who gave up land for the project would receive jobs by August 15 and full rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) benefits. Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy praised Bhatti Vikramarka for his dynamic supervision, stating that the Yadadri project, once stalled, is now progressing rapidly and will benefit the state's power supply within two years.
