Telangana Deputy CM Pushes for Pumped Storage Power
The Deputy Chief Minister of the state wants to use more pumped storage and water-based power plants to make electricity.
These systems act like big batteries, storing energy when not much is needed and releasing it when there's high demand, like at night using solar power.
He also wants to find places to build these and to consider different, cleaner ways to get energy, while ensuring experts are available to run these plants.
Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka advocates for pumped storage and hydel power.
He called for identifying 23 sites for pumped storage.
Pumped storage stores energy during low demand and releases it during peak.
The Deputy CM highlighted the foresight of the 1978 Congress government.
He emphasized environmentally sustainable power generation and alternative energy sources.
