8th April 2025 |
The first decade of the 20th century witnessed the advent of electricity in Puducherry. The Municipality in Pondicherry was authorized by the Arrête of 6 June 1908 to raise a loan of Rs. 64,000 from the Cassie De Secours Mutuels Des Macouas so as to enable it to take steps to provide electricity to the town. A 524 KW DC powerhouse was set up by the municipality and went into operation in the year 1909. The Powerhouse was provided with diesel motors that produced an uninterrupted current at 220 Volts and the Pondicherry Town received its first Power supply from 14 July 1909. The DC power produced by this unit was sufficient for lighting the Governor’s residence, some offices and a few houses in Rue Dumas and Rue Capucin. In view of some difficulty by the Pondicherry Municipality to run the unit, a subvention of Rs 2,000 has been granted to the Municipality during 1920 to run the undertaking. However, in 1929 the responsibility for running the unit came to vest with the Service De Travaux Publics (Public Works Department).
The very next year a decree was passed to regulate the system of power distribution in the town. In spite of all efforts, the undertaking did not prove very successful. Moreover, the electricity produced was hardly sufficient to meet the requirements of the whole town and the three mills. In 1941 this unit was replaced with two diesel generating sets of 375 KVA each. The power from this station was initially extended to the southern part of Pondicherry town and later to the entire town.
