The correct answer is: b) Coal-based thermal power.
Coal-based thermal power is the primary source of conventional power generation in Andhra Pradesh. In 2019, coal-based thermal power plants generated 62.4% of the state’s electricity. The other major sources of conventional power generation in Andhra Pradesh are hydropower (27.6%) and wind power (9.9%).
Nuclear power is not a major source of power generation in Andhra Pradesh. The state has one nuclear power plant, the Kakrapar Atomic Power Station, which has two reactors with a total capacity of 2,000 megawatts. However, this plant only generates about 2% of the state’s electricity.
Hydropower is a major source of power generation in Andhra Pradesh. The state has a number of hydroelectric dams, including the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, the Srisailam Dam, and the Pulichintala Dam. These dams generate about 28% of the state’s electricity.
