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.
