VIJAYAWADA: Andhra Pradesh would be buying power from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) at a cheaper rate than neighbouring Tamil Nadu and the power purchase agreement made with the corporation need not be referred to the Judicial Preview as the provider is a Central government entity, Energy Secretary N Srikanth said on Sunday.
Amid the controversy raging over power purchase agreements made by the State, the Energy Secretary said the proposed solar power purchase from SECI would be more affordable to take forward the initiative to provide free agriculture power for nine hours in the day time for the next 25 years on a sustainable basis.
