Telangana to generate 20,000 MW of green power by 2030: Bhatti

Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka at the Greenko Integrated Power Project in Pinnapuram village of Orvakal mandal, in Kurnool district, on Saturday. 

Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka stated that the Telangana government has plans to generate 20,000 MW of green power by 2029 - 30.

Speaking to the media on Saturday after visiting the Greenko Integrated Power Project in Pinnapuram village, Orvakal Mandal, Kurnool district, he said that MoUs worth ₹1 lakh crore have already been signed for green power generation in Telangana. This was part of the 2025 New Energy Policy, aiming to achieve 20,000 MW of green power by 2029–30.

He pointed out that electricity consumption is rising across India, and if power is generated solely through coal, it increases costs and pollution, impacting the environment. However, Telangana government is exploring various avenues to enhance power generation and move toward surplus electricity. “If production increases, employment and the State’s GDP will grow. It’s a continuous cycle,” he said.

The Deputy CM said he visited Greenko project to observe the green power production at their integrated project, which also exports electricity to other countries.

He praised Greenko Power for starting electricity production on schedule and noted that the company was producing electricity from solar, wind, and pumped storage at a single location spread across 4,000 acres, the first of its kind in the world. The production includes 4,000 MW through solar, 1,000 MW through wind, 1,680 MW through pumped storage totalling 6,680 MW of green power from a single site.

As part of his visit, he inspected key infrastructure, including the upper and lower reservoirs of the closed-loop pumped storage system, the powerhouse complex, and the advanced substation.
