Objective

The department is responsible for the production and distribution of power. It enables power production from various resources and distribution of the same through various agencies and undertakings.[1]

Power production, distribution and transmission

Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) is the nodal agency of power generation and distribution. It includes two undertakings: Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) and Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation (TANTRANS).[2] As of 2023, the average daily consumption is 15,000 MW with 40% of the power generated locally with the remaining 60% met through purchases.[3] As of 2022, the state was the fourth largest power consumer with a per capita availability of 1588.7 Kwh.[4][5] As of 2023, the state has the third highest installed power capacity of 38,248 MW with thermal power being the largest contributor with more than 10,000 MW.[6]

New and renewable resources

As of 2023, 54.6% of power is generated from renewable resources.[6][7] Tamil Nadu is the only state with two operational nuclear power plants at Kalpakkam, the first fully indigenous nuclear power station in India and Kudankulam, the largest nuclear power station in India and generates nearly one-third of the total nuclear power generated in the country.[8][9][10] Tamil Nadu has the largest established wind power capacity with over 8,000 MW mostly based out of two regions, Palghat Gap and Muppandal, one of the largest operational onshore wind farms in the world.[11] Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency is the nodal agency for power generation from new and renewable resources and facilitates power generation from such sources in house-holds and small scale industries.[2]
