In an attempt to achieve energy security and climate change goals, the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has asked the energy wing to coordinate with all other government departments to achieve sector-wise energy efficient goals and make the State the best in the country.
In a teleconference, APERC Chairman C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy said the country had set a target of net zero emissions by 2070 and a reduction of 1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2030. “In Andhra Pradesh, the energy demand has been on the rise and it is expected to reach 250 MUs per day by March 2023. The energy consumption in domestic sector is also increasing by the day,” he said.
