abstract: Unscheduled power cuts reduced summer paddy yields in Aurepalle and
Dokur in 1990 and 1992. Power cuts are the inevitable result of flat rate
pricing schedules for agricultural electricity, but they are only a major
problem when they are unscheduled and unpredictable.
Unpredictability raises production costs and reduces crop yields.
Farmers indicate that they are willing to pay more for better quality
power delivery. The Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board has limited
options due to political pressure. If it cannot adopt pro rata pricing it
must tighten existing rations; otherwise unscheduled cuts will become
increasingly common.
