Posted on: 29/Jan/2014 10:39:05 AM

It is a known fact to Chennaites that Tamil Nadu Gene­ra­t­ion and Distribution Corporation (Tang­ed­co) is all set to launch SMS alert facility to en­able power consu­m­ers to keep track of the­ir bi-monthly electricity bills. 

The power utility has tied up with a service pr­ovider for the SMS facility, which is ready to be launched. “We have sought the appoi­n­t­ment of chief minister Jayalalithaa to launch SMS alert system,”  sa­id sources in the electr­icity department. 

As per the proposal, two SMSs will be sent to consumers. The con­su­mer will receive first SMS, as soon as the as­sessor enters the consumer’s meter reading in the computer. The SMS will show consu­mer’s service connection number, consumption charges and due date.

The second SMS will be sent three days prior to the last date for bill payment to alert those consumers who have not paid their bills to avoid disconnection. 

As on date, 95 lakh consumers have registered their mobile numbers to avail the facility.
