CHENNAI: Having received the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (TNERC) approval, TANGEDCO is set to procure 1,000 MW of power to handle the summer demand. At first, 400 MW will be obtained through the tender process.
The demand for power will increase drastically in summer not only due to the weather, but also because exams will be held in schools and colleges; besides, commercial establishments may resume operations by then, said a senior Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) official.
