VIJAYAWADA: Noting that Andhra Pradesh has a significant potential for energy conservation, the state government is set to unveil an energy efficiency policy. The policy is being formulated with sector-specific programmes to achieve energy efficiency targets over the next five years starting this fiscal year, 2021-22.
According to AP State Energy Conservation Mission (APSECM) officials, an estimated 25 per cent of the annual consumption of 66,000 million units in the state can be saved. If done, it would translate into monetary savings of Rs 9,600 crore, they said in a statement on Thursday.
