THOOTHUKUDI: Power generation at the Thoothukudi Thermal Power Station (TTPS) was adversely affected following floods on December 17, 2023. The plant has managed to fully resume operations a month later. Meanwhile, Tangedco has pegged the loss towards power generation, material, and restoration to more than Rs 350 crore. The state’s power agency has blamed the VO Chidambaranar Port for the same, and alleged that the authorities disregard for Tangedco’s warnings against levelling works on the peripheral ash dyke triggered the breach and the flooding of TTPS.
