The move follows APCPDCL achieving an overall A Grade in the Consumer Service Rating of DISCOMs for FY 2024-25 issued by the Ministry of Power, a recognition that the utility has advanced its consumer centric governance, operational performance and service reliability.

EESL will also administer after sales service for participating products.

The partnership is expected to reduce household electricity consumption by 25-35 per cent, according to project projections, while delivering cost savings for consumers and reducing system load. The agreement is valid for three years with a provision for extension and was signed by Animesh Mishra on behalf of EESL and Chief General Manager P Subramanyam on behalf of APCPDCL in the presence of CMD P Pulla Reddy. EESL chief executive officer Akhilesh Kumar Dixit expressed congratulations to APCPDCL on its consumer service achievements.
