About TANGEDCO (Now TNPDCL)
TANGEDCO (Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited) was the state-owned company that generated and distributed electricity across Tamil Nadu. It was incorporated on 1 December 2009 as a subsidiary of TNEB Limited and started operations on 1 November 2010. On 27 June 2024, TANGEDCO was renamed Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL), which now handles distribution, billing and consumer services.
