In a significant ruling, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Ombudsman has declared that independent floors are eligible for separate domestic electricity connections, in accordance with the 2022 tariff order. This decision follows complaints lodged against the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TNGDCL) for denying electricity connections to buildings with single owners. The Ombudsman’s ruling overturned a previous order by a consumer forum, specifically in the case of I John Bosco in Nagercoil. This development ensures that each floor in a building owned by a single individual can now have its own electricity connection, a decision that will have a positive impact on residents and property owners alike.
