Gottipati Minister Ravi Kumar started the first building of the Building Code Andhra Pradesh on Friday in the city on Friday.
He was accompanied by the main secretary of K. Vijayanad, deputy M. Sibharat, MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao, District Collector MN Harendira Prasad, ApepdCl CMD I. Prudhvi, Apepdcl and higher officials and other public representatives.
During the program organized after the inauguration ceremony, Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar reaffirmed the government’s commitment to achieve sustainable development and energy efficiency.
He described the Super ECBC building as a symbol of determination of the state of integrating green design into public infrastructure.
The Minister, who emphasized the goals of the renewable energy Andhra Pradesh and the vision of the main Minister N. Chandrababa Naida, asked power services to achieve the goal of 20 lakh roof connections with at least 10,000 connections in each constituency.
He emphasized the support of the government for the sector agriculture through a nine-hour continuous daily energy supply, especially within the PM-KUSUM system supporting solar irrigation.
The Minister noted that the Super ECBC was developed as a specialized training center for employees of the energy sector, from lines to engineers to improve their skills in advanced technologies.
“Our goal is to make this highest training center in India,” he said, adding that well -trained staff would help improve field operations and reduce accidents.
The government has undertook to extend the supply of energy to distant tribal areas and ensure that no household remains, he said.
The Chief Secretary of K. Vijayanand said that the Super ECBC building not only represents an energy -efficient infrastructure, but also serves as a live demonstration model to promote awareness of ECBC standards.
The facility, which is designed as the State Center for Company Training, includes the laboratories of SCADA, RMU, Transformer and Meter and will provide employees from lines to main engineers, including induction training for new recruits.
MP M. Sibharat emphasized the importance of rapid implementation of roof solar installations and also appreciated ApepdCl for the successful completion of the Super ECBC building.
ApePDCL CMD I. Prudhvi said that the usefulness significantly improved the efficiency by reducing AT&C loss from 10.1% to 7.5% and loss of distribution from 6.5% to 5.8%.
He noted that more than 97% of 5.54 consumer complaints received were resolved. Updating infrastructure and efforts to renewable energy sources said the 220 MW solar plants process within the PM-KUSUM system is in the final stage. Approximately 2,000 roof installations were completed as part of Visakhapatnam, he added.
The Minister handed over compassionate orders to appoint approximately 20 recipients. Later he inspected the newly developed SCADA facility in Pedawaltair and visited the gas isolated distribution in the city.
