The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) has sought an indicative tariff for the upcoming Unit III and Unit IV of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) in order to finalise the quantum of electricity required by the State.
According to the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), which runs the KKNPP plant, Unit III and Unit IV are scheduled to be commissioned during December 2026 and August 2027, respectively. The tariff is yet to be communicated by the NPCIL, Tangedco said, in a letter to the Southern Regional Power Committee (SRPC).
It pointed out that in the previous SRPC meeting, the NPCIL had stated that it would convene a meeting to deliberate on the tariff and hold negotiations, if required. However, the meeting was yet to take place.
