Power utilities in the State, particularly the two distribution companies (discoms), have been told to increase the metered sales of energy not only to reduce the aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses but also to improve their revenue to plug the losses. They were also told to focus on energy auditing and accounting measures, also to improve revenues.
The instructions were given to senior executives of the two discoms – Southern Discom (TSSPDCL) and Northern Discom (TSNPDCL) – at a review meeting chaired by Chairman and Managing Director of TS-Genco and TS-Transco D. Prabhakar Rao here on Saturday. CMDs of the two discoms G. Raghuma Reddy and A. Gopal Rao, respectively, JMD of TS-Transco C. Srinivasa Rao and other senior executives attended the meeting.
The review meeting was held after the “Swatantra Bharatha Vajrotsava Dwi Saptaham” celebrations, fortnight-long diamond jubilee fete of the country’s Independence. The power utilities organised the fete on a large scale here.
