Tamil Nadu’s power sector is set for a major upgrade as the state government approves the Ennore Thermal Expansion Project’s revival. Aimed at quenching the thirst for electricity amid booming demand, this thermal push is a game-changer for grid stability. Strategically positioned near Chennai port for coal logistics, Ennore’s expansion will leverage ultra-supercritical units. Past delays stemmed from pollution lawsuits, now resolved via compliance with the latest guidelines. Peak demand has touched record levels, exceeding installed capacity and leading to imports from neighboring states. The 1,200 MW addition will ease this pressure, supporting EV charging networks and industrial parks. Policy-wise, it complements solar parks and wind farms, forming a hybrid model to ensure baseload reliability for a powered tomorrow.
