The Telangana government is planning to set up a hydro power generation plant in Himachal Pradesh, a State that has enormous potential in this sector. The government wants to invest in it to get cheaper power and meet the ever-increasing demand.
Sources said that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had discussed the proposal with Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu in New Delhi recently. The government may partner with some private companies to reduce the investment burden, and the power produced there will be exclusively supplied to Telangana.
The government also planned to prepare a new policy on electricity generation and procurement, whose draft copy is being readied. It plans to introduce the same in the next Assembly session and before that seek suggestions from experts and various organisations.
