It is expected that Tamil over the evening from November 2025 to July 2026 will face up to 5,000 MW of energy, according to data shared by the Southern Regional Energy Committee (ARM). However, the state is convinced that it will satisfy demand through various power arrangements.
According to the data, it is expected that in November 2025 it will cost 17,300 MW in the evening in the evening and the availability will be 14,397 MW, which will lead to a deficit of 2,903 MW. In December 2025, the evening peak demand is expected to be 17,200 MW and the availability will be 14,054 MW. In January 2026, the requirement for the peak of the evening peak was bound to 18,500 MW, compared to the availability of 15,096 MW. In February 2026, the evening peak demand will be 19 250 MW and the expected energy deficit will be 3 767 MW.
In March 2026, the energy requirement in the evening peaks was assessed to 20,300 MW with the availability of 15,440 MW, which led to a deficit of 4,860 MW. In April and May 2026, the evening peak demand will be 20,700 MW and 19,800 MW with an expected deficit of 5 260 MW and 3,360 MW.
ARPC also said that the state is expected to be up to 16%from November 2025 to 2026 based on its overall energy requirement.
The SRPC’s state burdening center said SRPC that energy demand would be satisfied through various energy arrangements. Recently, Tamil has enabled the Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) to allow Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) to float medium -term offers for 800 MW continuous energies for five years from February 2, 2026 throughout India, own and own and operate.
TNPDCL currently satisfies the demand from the installed capacity of 15,043 MW (the thermal 4,320 MW + gas 408 MW + independent energy producers 775 MW + Central Generating Stations share 6 558 MW + long -term open access of 2,830 MW + medium -term open access 152 MW). Given the plant load factor of 85%, the pure availability will be 12,786 MW, Tnerc said.
The middle deficiency/demand deficit for the FY 2026-27 and FY 2029-30 is 4,858 MW and 6,997 MW, taking into account the expiry of contracts and upcoming projects. On May 2, 2024, a historic top demand was achieved by Tamil over the amount of 20,830 MW. The demand was lower in the summer of 2025.
