The Chairperson of Appellate Tribunal for Electricity at New Delhi, Justice M Karpagavinayagam has said that Tamil Nadu is improving its power situation.
Briefing newspersons in Chennai on Thursday, he said the State is taking efforts for improving its power scenario and power from the Koodankoolam Nuclear Thermal Power Plant which would help in a big way.
Stating that the absence of a Chairperson for the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission has not affected its functioning, he said the process to identify the Chairperson is underway.
On the Circuit Bench of Appellate Tribunal for Electricity in the city, Justice Karpagavinayagam said, the tribunal is meant for dealing with cases in the four southern States.
“The first sitting of the tribunal in Chennai would begin from August 17. About 10 to 15 cases from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu would be dealt with this month,” he added.
Earlier, in his presidential address, Justice Karpagavinayagam stressed that the electricity regulatory commissions in the country should distance themselves from the Government.
Governor K Rosaiah said, as consumers, whether it is industrial or domestic, we have an onerous responsibility to curtail wastage of electricity, and prevent wastage of electricity, through conscious consumption.
Representatives from electricity regulatory commissions in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu also spoke on the occasion.
