NITI Aayog has proposed a blueprint to position Andhra Pradesh among India's top three renewable energy hubs by 2035, emphasizing reliable and clean power. The plan, developed under the ASSET platform with the state government, aims for 35 GW of solar and 12 GW of wind energy, alongside 55-60 GWh of storage capacity.

It anticipates a decline in power procurement costs to Rs 3.90-4 per unit by 2035. Total investments of Rs 3.3-3.4 lakh crore are needed for energy transition and Rs 4-4.2 lakh crore for national power exports, with significant private sector participation. The final blueprint is due by March 2026.
