Disclosing these details at a high-level meeting, the Chairman and Managing Director of AP Transco, Ms Rachel Chatterjee, said that a detailed project report and proposals of European Institute for Energy Research (EifER), Germany, will be submitted by the State Government.
According to a statement from APTransco, this project has a long term perspective for the power sector with special emphasis on the distribution sector and its strengthening.
The implementation is likely to be taken up in two phases, with the first phase of planning, identification of projects and schemes and implementation of some pilot projects, followed by the project itself over the next eight years.
