TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL) (earlier Central Electricity Supply Utility of Odisha (CESU)) is responsible for medium voltage power transmission and distribution across 9 districts of Odisha. Originally, the licence to operate in the central region of state covering 9 districts was guaranteed in 1999, by Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission under the provision of Odisha Electricity Reform Act, 1995 to Central Electricity Supply Company of Odisha Ltd. However, the license was revoked in April 2005, and the management was shifted under Central Electricity Supply Utility of Odisha ( Operation and Management ) in September 2006. The company provides daily power requirement to the state load dispatch center which monitors and controls the grid operations.

Tata Power will hold 51 per cent equity with management control and the State-owned Gridco will have the remaining 49 pc equity stake in the company.[2] The company retained all the existing employees of CESU and will govern them by their existing policy structure.
