TANGEDCO manages power distribution for over 30 million consumers in Tamil Nadu. Domestic solar consumers benefit from bi-monthly net feed-in billing where solar export reduces high-tier consumption slabs.
Higher consumption tiers face steep rates, accelerating solar return on investment.
| Monthly consumption slab | Grid tariff rate (excl. duty/cess) |
|---|---|
| 0 – 100 units | Free (State Subsidy) |
| 101 – 200 units | ₹2.25 / kWh |
| 201 – 400 units | ₹4.50 / kWh |
| 401 – 500 units | ₹6.00 / kWh |
| Above 500 units | ₹8.00–₹11.00 / kWh |
