more-inThe AP-Transco is gearing up to construct a green corridor in the next couple of years for evacuating the solar and wind energy being generated in the Rayalaseema region at a cost of ₹1,000 crore. ‘Attractive proposition’“With this, we will have no network constraints, which makes the setting up of solar and wind projects in the State an attractive proposition for renewable energy companies. It is because we are among the first movers in the country, as far as realising the potential of the solar and wind energies is concerned. Micro gridsMr. Paruchuri said priority was given to construction of micro grids as part of the 2nd generation of electricity reforms. A beginning has been made in Visakhapatnam district, where a 5 MW solar plant is under implementation by Greenko Group.
