But for the provisions in the A.P. State Reorganisation Act, 2014, Andhra Pradesh would have been a power surplus State, said the Transmission Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Limited (AP-Transco) on September 8.
In an apparent bid to counter the outrage of the people and opposition parties over the power tariff hikes and power generation issues, the AP-Transco, in a release, asserted that Andhra Pradesh was a power surplus State even after bifurcation.
“Just because of the distribution of electricity to Telangana as per the Act, we do not have the requisite power resources,” the AP-Transco said in the release.
