Tamil Nadu soon will be power surplus state, says CM - The Times of India

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on Sunday said that the state would resolve its power crisis soon as construction of three thermal power plants at Vallur (1,000MW), North Chennai (1,200MW) and Mettur (600MW) are on the verge of completion.

"With all these measures, Tamil Nadu is not far from the day of becoming a power surplus state," the chief minister said in a statement.

On the status of other power plants in the state, Jayalalithaa said that the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant would soon start power generation following her government's "efficient handling" of problems that came in the way of work at the plant.

Meanwhile, Union minister of state for Prime Minister's Office V Narayanasamy said all the preliminary works have been completed for power generation at Kudankulam. "The generation will be started in 15 days," he told reporters late on Saturday on his arrival at the Chennai airport. The People's Union for Civil Liberties, however, rejected an official claim that a three-stage offsite emergency exercise was successfully conducted last month at a village near the Kudankulam plant, saying it was "a lie".

The dummy fuel rods for the practise run were loaded in June and that time it was said that the plant would online during August...Let's hope.

Anyway the power situation is not bad now and if you are in CBE there is hardly one hour of power cut daily...

Its not for homes that is the problem, the power cut is disturbing Industries mate. Why you always talk of homes?

Moreover the Windmills are running because this is the wind season.
