The Andhra Pradesh Eastern Power Distribution Company Limited (APEPDCL) has pegged the loss caused to its infrastructure by the Godavari floods in Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR), Konaseema, East Godavari, Eluru and West Godavari districts at ₹1.53 crore as per a preliminary estimate.
The loss is likely to go up as the Discom gets a clearer picture of the impact in the next few days. Meanwhile, it is carrying out power restoration works on a war-footing.
APEPDCL Chairman and Managing Director K. Santosh Rao told Special Chief Secretary (energy) K. Vijayanand in a review meeting on Wednesday that the Discom had prepared an action plan to restore power supply in all the flood-hit areas and that engineers, up to the rank of divisional engineer, were involved in the restoration works.
