Tamil Nadu is likely to get 3,626 Mw of power by the end of 2011, both from new power plants being set up by Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) with an outlay of Rs 8,875.65 crore as well as from other upcoming power plants in the state. The state government has said power shortage in the state will be resolved by 2011-12.
“Once these projects come through, power problem will be resolved in the state,” said chief minister K Karunanidhi, who reviewed the status of these projects here.
Currently the state is facing a deficit of around 1800-2000 Mw.
