✦AI Summary
Andhra Pradesh energy officials have directed AP-Genco to prioritize hydel power generation for peak demand hours due to reduced reservoir inflows caused by poor monsoon rains. To ensure a stable power supply, the state is shifting focus to maximizing thermal power generation and maintaining adequate coal stocks.
Andhra Pradesh’s power utilities were fully prepared to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply despite delayed monsoon rains and a sharp decline in hydel power generation, Special Chief Secretary (Energy) K. Vijayanand said on Thursday (July 9, 2026).
