History

The five districts of Chamarajanagar, Hassan, Kodagu, Mandya, Mysore were distributed electricity by Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation (KPTCL) since its formation in 1999 to 2002. Mangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (MESCOM) was one of four companies that was formed in 2002 from KPTCL, and distributed to the said districts before CESC was carved out of it in 2005 to meet the increasing demand in power.[1][2] Kodagu was added to its jurisdiction in 2006.[3]
