Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Regarding electricity from Kudankulam Power Plant to Tamil Nadu.
SHRIMATI K. MARAGATHAM (KANCHEEPURAM): Madam, the growth of a country depends on the availability of energy as it is the very vital source for financial growth.
Knowing this, our most honourable leader, Amma, had announced an amount of Rs. 80 crore for upgrading and modernising Kodayar Hydel Power Station and urged the Prime Minister to speed up the process of Cheyyur Ultra Mega Power Project in my Parliamentary constituency, Kancheepuram. Tamil Nadu will get non-stop power supply as Cheyyur Power Project will generate 4000 megawatt of power. For every two months, free power for textile sector and free electricity to farmers form part of the people welfare schemes announced by honourable Amma.
The Central Government had announced that Cheyyur Ultra Mega Power Project will be included in 2017-22 Electricity Plan but till date, there is delay of this project.
Hence, I request the Central Government and the Ministry of Power to sanction funds for the power projects in Tamil Nadu and also to allocate funds for the power generated in Kudankulam Power Plant to Tamil Nadu.
