In a bid to address acute power shortage, the Tamil Nadu government has decided to encourage the private sector to set up units in the state and as part of this, five private companies have "cleared formalities" to establish thermal power plants.
Electricity Minister R Viswanathan had recently announced that the private sector would be encouraged to set up units for active power generation to address the growing demand-supply gap.
"Five companies have cleared the formalities to set up their units in Tamil Nadu", a Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation official said.
Declining to name the companies, he told PTI they would generate power along with the ongoing projects in Tamil Nadu.
