Andhra Pradesh has become the second state in the country after
Gujarat to achieve 100 per cent electrification of households, a latest
report has said.
JM Financials published the report based on a national-level survey on electrification in various states.
Discussing this through a tele-conference with top officials of the Energy Department on Tuesday Sep 13,2016, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said, “We achieved 100 % electrification by June 2016 Now, you have to set a target of ensuring uninterrupted world-class quality power supply.”
He said access to electricity was a key socio-economic development indicator, but this was an area where there was still a significant gap in India.
Principal Secretary (Energy and Infrastructure) Ajay Jain informed Naidu they were preparing a strategy plan to reduce overall transmission and distribution losses, which currently stood at 10.3 % to single digit by the end of the current financial year.
An investment of Rs 20,000 crore has been proposed over the next five years to strengthen the transmission and distribution systems and extend power supply connection on demand, he said.
