The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) will roll out ‘TNEB 2.0’ to meet the surging power demand and modernise the distribution system by 2030.
‘TNEB 2.0’, similar to Singara Chennai 2.0, is aimed at doubling the electricity production in the State and upgrading the distribution system to ensure an uninterrupted supply.
Electricity Minister V. Senthil Balaji, presenting the demand for the grants for the Energy Department in the Assembly on Tuesday, said ‘TNEB 2.0’ was aimed at more than doubling the electricity production from 33,877 mega watt (MW) to 77,153 MW. The State’s power generation capacity, comprising thermal, hydro and gas turbine, would be increased from 7,175 MW to 41,085 MW.
