Energy Justice for Tamil Nadu: Addressing Peak Electricity Demand and Central Allocation Shortfalls

3 August 2026
 

My unstarred Question in Parliament to the Ministry of Power sought to determine whether Tamil Nadu is receiving adequate electricity to meet its growing demand.

Power is more than megawatts on a spreadsheet. It is the electricity that keeps a factory running through the night, powers a student's study lamp and sustains a farmer's livelihood.

The data placed before Parliament shows that Tamil Nadu's peak electricity demand has grown significantly over the last five years, while its allocation from Central Generating Stations has not kept pace. 

Across Tamil Nadu, citizens have struggled with power cuts and outages even as the official narrative suggests everything is well. Tamil Nadu powers India's growth, it deserves transparent planning, timely investments and a fair share of the nation's power infrastructure.
