Members want government to oppose Electricity Amendment Act-2021
Infusing about ₹1,000 crore for automation of sub-stations in AP Transco and AP Discoms as pilot projects is not justified when AP power utilities are under severe financial stress and also the sub-station automation system is uneconomical and a failure model in the country, said members of APSEB Engineers’ Association and APSEB AEEs’ Association.
In a representation made to Secretary, Energy Department, N. Srikanth, they also opposed the Electricity Amendment Act-2021, which they said was meant to facilitate privatisation and that it would severely impact the interests of State government, the power utilities and the consumers. “All the neighbouring States strongly opposed the amendment to the Act and unanimously turned it down in their respective State Assemblies,” they said in the representation insisting that Andhra Pradesh should also follow suit.
The members urged the department authorities to honour the terms and conditions of promotions, transfers, leaves and allowances, as was agreed upon in a tripartite agreement.
