Andhra Pradesh and Telangana share
mutual understanding with each other. Recently both Chandra Babu Naidu
and K.Chandrasekar Rao share a good rapport. But now we fear that, a
conflict may arise between two states. Andhra Pradesh Government has
decided to demand a share in power from Telangana.
Telanga
is launching two new power plants at Bhupalapalli and Singareni. Andhra
Pradesh is right now claiming a share in the power as the plants were
undivided. As of now the 600MW Bhupalapalli thermal power plant is
ready for commissioning.
The next power
plant may start its process by January. The Bhupalapalli thermal station
already has a 500-MW unit in operation and its second unit, with 600MW
capacity is ready to start the process. An official said, "With respect
to the power sharing formula, Andhra Pradesh will get 46.11% and
Telangana will get 53.89% from the total power generated.
They
also will share cost of generation accordingly." However Andhra Pradesh
has asked equal share from the power houses. Now the matter has been
taken to Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC).
