The power sector in AP till recently, akin to that in many other states in India, was and exclusive domain of the state. To manage the power sector, the state created AP State Electricity Board (APSEB) in 1959 as an autonomous body with the responsibility for integrated power development in the state. APSEB was responsible for generation, transmission, distribution and selling of power. Subsequently in line with the reforms in the power sector undertaken by the state government and GOI, APSEB is bifurcated into APGENCO and APTRANSCO to focus on generation, transmission and distribution functions of the utility respectively. Further four regional distributions Companies namely APEPDCL, APCPDCL, APONPDCL and APSDCL were created to strengthen distribution in the state. The State government has also created Andhra Pradesh electricity Regulatory Commission to regulate the tariff and facilitate heal the growth of power sector in the state.
APTRANSCO purchases power from APGENCO, IPPs in the state, central public sector organizations and also from other neighboring states to meet the power requirements of the entire state through the distribution companies. APTRANSCO also purchases the power from the renewable energy sources like non-conventional fuel based power plants, mini hydro power plants, wind power plants, etc.The total installed power generation capacity in the state as on 31-03-2001 is 7,968.76 MW. The peak demand requirement of the state is about 7,140 MW and average daily energy requirement is about 144 MU.
