Hyderabad: Telangana has already surpassed the Central Electricity Authority’s (CEA) projected peak power demand for 2025. Against the estimate of 16,877 MW, the state recorded a peak demand of 17,162 MW. With rapid growth in industrial and other sectors, the actual power demand in 2026 could reach between 19,000 MW and 19,500 MW—well above the CEA’s projected 18,135 MW, said principal energy secretary Sandeep Kumar Sultania. He directed energy officials to prepare the grid network to meet the rising load.
In a review meeting with TGSPDCL CMD Musharraf Faruqui and other officials, Sultania assessed the southern discom’s five-year action plan, including power needs in upcoming industrial zones. He asked officials to increase infrastructure by 40 per cent to meet the projected 20 per cent demand spike in areas like Ibrahim Bagh, Gachibowli, Patancheru, Kandukur and Medchal areas within Greater Hyderabad.
Sultania said Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka are committed to ensuring quality power supply across the state and would extend full support to the power sector. Later, he held a meeting with electric charge point operators, urging them to accelerate the setting up of EV charging stations. With electric vehicle adoption rising rapidly, Sultania urged the charging point operators must set up 6,000 public charging stations by 2030.
