The availability of 800-MW North Chennai Thermal Power Station (NCTPS) would determine the power deficit situation in the State during the upcoming summer, according to a Resource Adequacy Assessment by the Southern Regional Load Despatch Centre (SRLDC).

Tamil Nadu saw a maximum all time high demand of 19,387 MW on April 20 last year. SRLDC expects the demand to grow 10% in the summer period of 2024.

According to data from Central Electricity Authority, the State’s peak power demand is expected to touch 20,806 MW in 2024 summer. Tamil Nadu has the highest power demand among Southern States.
