Andhra Pradesh Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024 – New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Ltd.

Andhra Pradesh Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024

Problem

  • Fragmentation across solar, wind, PSP, and hydrogen policies created regulatory confusion and inefficiencies.
  • Andhra Pradesh’s large renewable energy potential (solar: 38.5 GWp; wind: 123 GW; PSP: 43 GW) remained underutilized due to poor coordination.
  • Lack of grid stability and round-the-clock (RTC) power options from renewable sources hindered DISCOMs and industries.
  • Absence of cohesive support for emerging sectors like battery storage and green hydrogen.
  • Complex and time-consuming approval processes discouraged private sector investment and innovation.

Solution

  • Andhra Pradesh Integrated Clean Energy (ICE) Policy 2024 was launched to unify all clean energy development under a single framework.
  • Designation of NREDCAP as the State Nodal Agency, with powers to oversee applications, incentives, land allocation, and grid coordination.
  • Operationalization of a Single Window Portal for project applications, resource mapping, and policy-linked incentives.
  • Promotion of Distributed Energy Resources, Green Hydrogen Export Hubs, and Renewable Energy Manufacturing Zones.
  • Clear timelines for commissioning, bank guarantees, and grid access to increase project transparency and execution pace.

Outcomes

  • Revived over 3,000 MW of legacy solar and wind projects through policy migration.
  • Initiated 12 GW of Pumped Storage Power (PSP) development across 10 sites.
  • Attracted ₹50,000 Crore worth of clean energy investments within five months of policy notification.
  • Enabled large-scale adoption of RTC energy supply models and open access frameworks.
  • Positioned Andhra Pradesh as a front-runner in green hydrogen, RE manufacturing, and clean energy employment generation.
