In a recent ruling by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Ombudsman, it has been decreed that independent floors are eligible for separate domestic electricity connections as per the 2022 tariff order. This decision follows complaints lodged against the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO), where they had refused to provide connections in buildings with single owners. The Ombudsman’s decision overturned a previous ruling by a consumer forum and sets a precedent for cases like that of I John Bosco in Nagercoil. This ruling ensures that each floor in a building can have its own electricity connection, offering more flexibility and convenience to residents. It also highlights the importance of adhering to regulations and providing fair access to essential services.
