Tensor networks offer a sign-problem-free approach to study lattice gauge theories, but extracting precise universal information associated with the deconfinement transition remains challenging. In this work, we study the deconfinement transition of (2+1)-dimensional ${\mathbb Z}_N$ lattice gauge theories at finite temperature using a thermal tensor network approach, where the partition functions
