Acting under sub-section (1) of Section 85 of the Electricity Act, 2003, the Governor of Tamil Nadu reconstituted the Selection Committee that selects the Chairman of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission.
The notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, Part II, Section 2, on 27 February 2014. It concerns the appointment process for the electricity regulator's Chairman rather than ownership, registration, classification or use of land.

- Thiru Justice R. Regupathi, retired Judge of the Madras High Court, as Chairperson.
- The Chief Secretary to the Government of Tamil Nadu, as a member.

- Recommend a panel of two names for every vacancy referred to it.
- Confirm, before recommending a candidate, that the person has no financial or other interest likely to harmfully affect the performance of the Chairman's functions.
