Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Monday directed the state-run Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation (TNPDC) to expedite infrastructure projects in view of rising electricity demand. During a review meeting, the CM inquired about the implementation of a key electoral promise under which 200 units of free electricity are being provided to all domestic consumers with a total consumption of 500 units or less.
Vijay said that with the rapid growth of urban centres, industrial expansion and increasing agricultural demand requiring uninterrupted power supply, the TNPDC should expedite infrastructure development works despite financial or technical challenges. The chief minister also directed officials to prioritise identifying the root causes of day-to-day consumer grievances, including low-voltage issues, and implement remedial measures.
During the meeting, officials gave a detailed presentation on how the TNPDC successfully met the state's peak power demand of 21,326 MW without interruptions.
