Following the dictum that some power is better than no power, the government of Tamil Nadu seems to have reconciled to accepting National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) decision to give only 30 per cent of power generated from the proposed 1,000 mw (2x500 mw units) project at Cheyyur in Chengalpattu district. Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) and NTPC have been at Loggerheads for a long time on the sharing of power from the Cheyyur project with the former insisting that full power generated from this project should be given to the state grid while NTPC has been refusing to toe this line.
