Tangedco will buy power from the exchanges for its short-term needs in the next five years (2022-23 to 2026-27) at a total purchase cost of over ₹17,000 crore, according to the tariff petition approved by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) recently.
The State distribution company has proposed to buy power from the short-term market/power exchanges when there is not sufficient power available from the long-term sources.
