The Andhra Pradesh government, led by N Chandrababu Naidu, is taking a cautious approach regarding the electricity supply from the Adani Green Energy project. The State Cabinet has discussed the power supply agreement between the State Discom and the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), but no decision has been made on the contract. If the State cancels the project, it will have to pay a substantial amount for 25 years, while continuing with the agreement will result in higher electricity costs for consumers. The project aims to supply 7 GW of renewable energy to the State discom over three years. Meanwhile, the Energy Minister has accused the former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of making poor decisions that led to a power deficit in the State and high electricity costs. The Minister also alleged that the previous regime had cancelled power purchase agreements, threatened investors, and drove them out of the State, resulting in a loss of 10,000 MW of renewable energy.
