TPCODL Paves The Way For A Secure And Joyful Festive Season

TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL), a joint venture between Tata Power and the Government of Odisha, is committed to provide a seamless and uninterrupted power supply during the ensuing festive season. As part of its firm commitment to safety, TPCODL has implemented a range of initiatives and issued essential safety guidelines for temporary structures and pandals.

To ensure safety and reliability during the festive season, TPCODL strongly advises event organizers and shopkeepers to obtain electrical connections only from our authorized personnel for Pooja pandals and temporary shops. Unsafe and illegal electrical connections and installation poses a significant risk to the public during festivals, making it imperative to prioritize safety measures. In an unwavering pursuit of uninterrupted and safe power supply, dedicated TPCODL teams will monitor and maintain electricity provision at all pandals vigilantly, preventing any unauthorized hooking or access to TPCODL network, ensuring a joyful festival experience.

TPCODL’s 24×7 Call Centre, in combination with Social Media Monitoring Unit, is tirelessly working round the clock to promptly address and resolve any complaints. In case of emergencies or concerns, we encourage you to contact our toll-free helpline at 1912/18003457122 or visit the nearest office.

Furthermore, TPCODL has issued a set of imperative safety guidelines to ensure safety during the festive season:
Electrical Wiring: Ensure that an authorised and certified electrician performs all electrical wiring. Ensure testing of wiring from the authorised person.

Proximity to Electrical Installations: Do not construct tents or decorations near electrical installations. Maintain a safe distance from overhead power lines while erecting tents or decorations.

Unauthorized Hooking: Avoid unauthorized hooking from electrical network, which can lead to serious accidents. Unauthorized hooking is an illegal & a criminal offence as per Electricity Act.

Temporary Connection: Must take a legal connection from the TPCODL with correct load for the tents/ pandals, lighting and other temporary structure. Just Call @1912 or mail us at newconnection@tpcentralodisha.com or contact our section/ Sub-division/Division/Customer care to get the hassle free temporary connection.

Proper Earthing: Ensure proper earthing for all electrical equipment. If a generator is used, separate earthing must be provided for its body and neutral.

Prevent Water Leaks: Ensure that water does not leak on electrical meters and switchgears.

Procession Safety: During processions, the vehicles must maintain a safe distance from high and low voltage lines, feeder pillars, and other electrical systems.

Fire Safety: Install appropriate fire extinguishers at pandals and near electrical installations. Ensure that all fire safety measures are in place.

Use of LED Lights: Encourage the use of LED lights, which are energy-efficient and reduce the risk of overheating.
