Citizen Charter

APEPDCL believes that bringing about technical and process improvements can provide better consumer services. Keeping in view the resource constraints and the unprecedented load growth, the Government of A.P. as a strategy, has restructured the organization to attract resource inputs for taking up various System Improvement works like erection of sub-stations, lines, additional transformers etc. Further, the service standards have been defined to improve customer service levels by benchmarking maximum time limits to respond to the important aspects of service.

A summary of the time limits for rendering service to consumers in HT/LT categories are as follows: Click here for Telugu Version
