In the past year, rooftop solar connections in the APCPDCL service area surged from 6,489 to 50,114, a jump that underscores growing renewable energy adoption.
The Andhra Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (APCPDCL) area has witnessed a dramatic increase in rooftop solar connections, rising from 6,489 to 50,114 in just one year.
This growth reflects a growing interest in clean energy among residents and businesses within the distribution network.
The data, reported by The Hindu, highlights the rapid adoption of solar technology in the state and suggests a shift toward decentralized power generation.
While the exact drivers of this surge are not detailed in the report, the numbers point to a significant shift in consumer behaviour and policy support for renewable energy.
APCPDCL’s expanded solar footprint may also help the state meet its renewable energy targets and reduce reliance on conventional power sources.
