TNPDCL automates closure of inactive power connections

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Ltd (TNPDCL) has introduced an automated system to close inactive low tension (LT) electricity service accounts that remain disconnected for 90 days, significantly reducing the time taken for permanent dismantling of electricity connections.

Consumers are expected to receive SMS alerts informing them of the proposed action, according to a Thanthi TV alert.

If the consumer does not seek reconnection within three months of receiving the notification, the service connection will be taken up for meter removal.
