How K. K. Nagar gets power supply

Report by Sharanya Srinivasan

So how does K. K. Nagar get its power supply?

We are at the TNEB Administration Office in K K.Nagar and meet Ezhilarasan and  Jayakanthan, Assistant Engineers (general) explain how this works. 

Power is received from the power station in Koyembedu at the K K.Nagar Sub Station. Koyembedu generates at 11 K V and during transmission it is stepped up to 750 KV . 

From the Sub Station located in each area, the power is stepped down to 400 KV, 230 K V, 110 K V, 66 K V, 33 K V and finally to 11 KV which is received by the local area transformers. 


From this, power is distributed to each household.
