The southern regional convention of National Coordination Committee Of Electricity Employees and Engineers(NCCOEEE) demanded to amend the Electricity Act 2003.The convention held at Chennai on 13th October 2011 also demanded to the Central Government to re-bundle the unbundled State Electricity Boards. Stop privatisation of electric sector,stop outsourcing of jobs and to fill up all the vacancies are the other demands.

Hundreds of electricity employees and engineers from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradhesh and Pondicherry attended the convention. Representatives of 18 organisations of electricity employees and officers spoke in the convention . Trade unions affiliated to CITU, INTUC, AITUC etc were the major participants. TNEB Engineers Association (TNEBEA) actively participated in the convention and its state president Sri K Appaswamy appealed the employees and engineers to unite together, irrespective of category, to fight against the evils of Electricity Act  2003. Even though KSEB Engineers Association (KSEBEA) is an affiliate of All India Power Engineers Federation(AIPEF), they abstained from the convention because of their know support for Electricity Act 2003. KSEBEA is still propagating the category rivalry to divert attention of their members from key policy issues like Electricity Act 2003.

Sri K O Habeeb (President, Electricity Employees Federation of India), Sri Shailendra Dubey (President , All India Power Engineers Federation) and Sri Chakradhar Prasad (General Secretary, All India Federation of Electricity Employees) addressed the gathering.
