Telangana is working with other States to meet its rising power demand, especially from renewable sources.
It has signed agreements with BJP-ruled Odisha and Rajasthan, and Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh.
Telangana is sourcing hydro power from Himachal and solar power from Rajasthan to expand clean energy use.
These agreements show strong inter-State cooperation and consistent national energy policy over time.
Telangana’s SCCL and Rajasthan’s RVUNL are forming a joint venture to build 1,600 MW thermal and 1,500 MW solar plants with ₹26,200 crore investment.
SCCL holds 74% equity, RVUNL holds 26%; the plan aims to lower power costs and offer reliable, clean energy.
Rajasthan Minister said the State has a target of 125 GW renewable energy by 2030 and welcomes partnerships.
With Himachal, Telangana plans two hydro projects — Seli (400 MW) and Miyar (120 MW) — for clean energy.
Power will be shared for 40 years before being handed fully to Himachal.
Telangana’s demand rose faster than expected, hitting 17,162 MW in 2024-25, higher than the projected 16,877 MW.
Telangana lacks enough land for solar and sites for hydro, so it looks to other States.
All partner States see this as a way to boost growth and ensure affordable and sustainable electricity.
