HYDERABAD: Power distribution companies (Discoms) were yet to finalise installation of electricity meters for agriculture connections. To avoid criticism from the farming community, the discoms proposed to set up electricity meters at the transformer level.
The proposal was made to maintain transparency and accountability in demand and supply of power. Andhra Pradesh has already installed meters to agricultural connections on pilot basis and extended it statewide, whereas in Telangana it has been strongly opposed by various sections.
