Section 3(1) in Tamil Nadu Electricity Grid Code, 2005
(1)Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Supply are the main functions in an Electric system. Irrespective of whether there are different wings under the control of the same management or independent companies and Licensees for these functions, as envisaged in Electricity Act 2003, the quality of service rendered to the end user depends upon the function of each wing. This Code defines the main functions connected with the Intra State Transmission System and also lays down the rules, the guidelines and standards to be followed by the various players (agencies and participants) in the system to plan, develop, expand, maintain and operate the power system in the most efficient, reliable, safer and economic manner. This Code is consistent with the Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) and Grid Standards formulated under various regulations by CEA.
