The story
Electricity was distributed in the five districts of Chamarajanagar, Hassan, Kodagu, Mandya, Mysore 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 it distributed to these districts. CESC was carved out of MESCOM in 2005 to meet the increasing demand for power. Kodagu was added to its jurisdiction in 2006.
