AP Power Sector Reforms envisage
creation of Distribution Companies as Government Undertakings for
the first few years and privatization later on. The Andhra Pradesh
Gazette No.37 published by the Government of Andhra Pradesh on
Friday the 31st of March 2000 declared formally formation of
Distribution Companies. In this process, Andhra Pradesh Southern
Electricity Distribution Company was formed for the following six
districts of Andhra Pradesh. The Corporate Office and Headquarters
of APSPDCL is at Tirupati City
Quality power at economic rates acts a catalyst in transforming the
state by fostering growth in agricultural, industrial and commercial
areas while meeting the increasing domestic demand. On Feb 1, 1999,
Government of Andhra Pradesh initiated the first phase of reforms
and restructuring in AP’s power sector by unbundling APSEB into
APGENCO and APTRANSCO to cater to Generation and Transmission &
Distribution respectively. APTRANSCO was further reorganized into
four distribution companies to cater to the needs to the different
districts of AP.
APSPDCL was formed in April 1, 2000 to serve Krishna, Guntur,
Prakasam, Nellore, Chittoor and Kadapa districts with a vision to
‘become an efficient utility supplying reliable and quality power,
promoting economic development and being self-reliant commercially’.
As on 31st March 04, SPDCL has a robust distribution network to
cater to customers spread across 81331 sq. Km representing 326
mandals, 6177 villages and 86 assembly constituencies |
