Telangana power capacity tops 16,203 MW, up from 7,778 MW in 2014

The Telangana power transmission network has doubled from 14,059 MVA to 28,884 MVA and the contracted capacity has gone up to 16,203 MW from 7,778 MW in the past five years since the state’s formation in June 2014, thereby, enabling round-the-clock power supply without power cuts.

Stating that these would not have been possible but for the support from Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, D. Prabhakar Rao, CMD, TS Genco and TS Transco, said the state has managed to ensure robust power generation and supply network over the past five years, since the formation of the new state.

The network would play a critical role in the Telangana government’s schemes and in supplying power to industries under the TS-iPASS Policy, 24-hour power to the agriculture sector, the Mission Bhagiratha-Telangana Water Grid Project, and lift irrigation schemes and providing uninterrupted 24×7 supply to all categories of consumers.
