The TANTRANSCO maintains all the substations in Tamil Nadu apart from the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL). These substations fall under one of the following categories:
- 400/230 kV substations.
- 230/110 kV substations.
- 110 kV substations.
- 33 kV substations.
less than this kV transmissions as 22 kV and 11 kV are used for distribution.
66/11 kV substations were in use earlier. This is no longer the case anymore.
