Tamil Nadu wants unallocated power from the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP).

TN govt opposes allotment of KNPP power to Telangana Says the state should get unallocated power as it provided land, water BS Reporter  |  Chennai  December 29, 2014 

The Tamil Nadu government has urged the Centre to set aside for the state’s use the unallocated 100 Mw power being generated from the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP).

In a letter, Tamil Nadu chief minister O Pannerselvam brought to the notice of prime minister Narendra Modi the state’s memorandum of request in June 2014, urging the Centre to allocate the entire 15 per cent (150 Mw) unallocated power in KNPP Unit-I and Unit-II to the state.

“As you are aware, Tamil Nadu has come forth with all necessary inputs like land and water for the expeditious completion of the project, while neighbouring states had not been supportive. The deft handling of the issue by the state government ensured there was no disruption in commissioning and running of KNPP,” the chief minister highlighted in the letter.

The Centre has allotted 50 Mw from KNPP to Telangana, which again is a power deficit state in the south…….http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/tn-govt-opposes-allotment-of-knpp-power-to-telangana-114122900428_1.html
