VIJAYAWADA: With an aim to provide qualitative uninterrupted nine-hour free power to all the farmers in the State, the energy department is pulling all stops for the establishment of necessary infrastructure. The officials said that all the works, worth about Rs 1,500 crore, would be completed before May 31 this year.
Though the government has already started supply of free nine-hour power for agricultural use, it is yet to provide it to all the feeders for want of more infrastructure. In this regard, the department has sanctioned various works including establishment of new substations, new transmission lines (400 KV, 220 KV, 132 KV, 33 KV and others), and other necessary infrastructure.
