The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Committee (TNERC) has proposed an amendment to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Distribution Code. This move, they say, will simplify the procedure that will enable construction companies avail temporary power.

The Committee released an explanatory statement which said, ‘The applicant who wants tempor­ary supply for the co­­nstruction purp­ose, especially in the case of domestic/ residential buil­dings, might find it difficult to follow the special terms and conditions for effecting temporary supply of electricity specified in regulation 39 of the distribution code. The te­m­porary supply of electricity would be separated into two ca­tegories – one wh­i­­ch is likely to be co­nverted into permanent supply as in the case of building construction and the other being supply purely for temporary purpose, often for glaring illumination.’
