The Tamil Nadu Electricity Ombudsman recently issued a significant ruling stating that independent floors are eligible for separate domestic electricity connections, as per the 2022 tariff order. This decision comes in response to complaints lodged against the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TNGDCL), which had been denying electricity connections to buildings with single owners. The Ombudsman’s ruling overturned a previous order by a consumer forum and highlighted the case of I John Bosco in Nagercoil. This development is set to have a positive impact on homeowners seeking individual electricity connections for their independent floors.
