Power distribution has been finalized between AP and Telangana. There would be a re-alignment of the electricity distribution utilities in Telangana and AP.

At present, the Central Power Distribution utility is the biggest. However, two districts – Ananthapur and Kurnool – are shifted to SPDCL.Power distribution shared between various DisComs would be – CPDCL – 38% NPDCL – 15% EPDCL – 17% SPDCL – 30%. Keeping in view the power consumption, AP gets 47% and Telangana gets 53%.
