Power utilities in the State, after being instructed to focus on round-the-clock uninterrupted power supply and develop power infrastructure to address future requirements, are bracing up to meet the impending surge in electricity demand expected due to creation of 13 new districts in the State.
In a review meeting with representatives of the power utilities, Energy Secretary B. Sreedhar asked the DISCOMs to spread awareness on the advantages of telescopic billing system among domestic consumers.
He said the field officers should make people understand the nuances of the concept, and wanted the field staff to handover leaflets explaining about the system, along with electricity bills, to the consumers.
