Abstract

Availability of power is one of the biggest inputs necessary for the sustained growth of any economy. This becomes even more important for a state like Tamil Nadu, which is one of the most industrialized and urbanized states in India. Over the last few years, Tamil Nadu has been facing massive power deficits. According to the CEA, the state was expected to have a power deficit of around 18 percent in 2012-13. As a result, in recent times the state is facing huge power cuts. On an average of 3-4 hours power cuts are being experienced by consumers in the state. Given this situation this paper attempts to look at the reasons for the growing power deficits in Tamil Nadu with the following objectives, 1) to analyze the electricity power deficits in Tamil Nadu, 2) to identify the renewable sources in which Tamil Nadu can improve and 3) to examine the growth performance of wind power.
