In exercise of the powers conferred by section 181 read with section 50 of the Electricity Act, 2003 (Central Act 36 of 2003) and all other powers enabling it in this behalf, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission hereby makes the following amendment to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Supply Code.
Notice is hereby given that action will be taken to publish the proposed amendment in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette after fifteen days from the date of hosting it in the website of the Commission and any suggestion, modification or objection which may be addressed to the Secretary, Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission, 19-A Rukmini Lakshmipathy Salai, Egmore, Chennai – 600 008, before the expiry of the said period will be taken into consideration by the Commission.
Amendment
In the said regulation, in regulation 3, the following sub-regulation (4) shall be added, namely:-
“(4) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-regulation (1), where the cost of establishing higher voltage network by the Distribution Licensee is very high, the Chief Executive Officer of the Distribution Licensee may permit in appropriate cases to effect supply or additional load in the available voltage level itself subject to technical feasibility.”
(By order of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
When a consumer applies for supply or additional demand and eligible voltage level of availing supply does not exist in the area, TANGEDCO has to incur huge expenditure to develop the infrastructure. If the supply or additional demand is extended in the existing voltage level itself subject to the technical feasibility, expenditure on infrastructure development can be reduced. Therefore, it is proposed to amend regulation 3 of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Supply Code.
(By order of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission)
(S.Gunasekaran) Secretary
