SPDCL to follow suit in respect of the Kuppam RESCO soon
: The Eastern Power Distribution Company Limited (EPDCL) of Andhra Pradesh took over the business activities of Anakapalle (Kasimkota) and Cheepurupalli Rural Electric Cooperative Societies Limited (RESCOs) in the absence of a recommendation by the government to AP Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) to exempt them from obtaining the license for undertaking distribution and retail sale of power for the FY 2021-22. The Southern DISCOM is bound to take over the business activities of Kuppam RESCO for the same reason as above. According to official sources, the APERC issued an order to CMDs of EPDCL and SPDCL on March 25, 2021 to take over the activities of the three RESCOs but they (RESCOs) received no instructions to that effect from the Department of Co-Operation.More Related News
