Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation lets consumers buy own transformers

CHENNAI/TIRUNELVELI: The Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) has allowed large Low Tension (LT) consumers, who are willing to do so, to procure the distribution transformers needed for them and “adjust the cost in their subsequent bills for consumption”.

The discom has issued a letter recently in this regard to all its chief engineers, citing transformer supply delay due to finalisation of tenders. The letter was to inform the latest rates that can be permitted for procurement by the individual consumers for transformers of different capacities.
