APSEB was the successor to Electricity Department of the Government of Andhra Pradesh.Prior to the independence, power was supplied to parts of Telangana by Hyderabad State Electricity Department. Under the Electricity Sector Reforms agenda, government of Andhra Pradesh promulgated Andhra Pradesh Electricity Reforms Act, 1998. The erstwhile APSEB was unbundled into one generating company, one transmission company and four distribution companies as part of the reform process.
Later, on 2 June 2014, when the state was bifurcated, APGENCO distributed all the assets, liabilities and power stations to both the states and Telangana Power Generation Corporation was formed for the newly formed Telangana state and APGENCO remained for Andhra Pradesh in accordance with the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.
