FAQs: Power Shutdown in Chennai areas (Today)

1. Why power shutdown has taken place in some places of Chennai today?

The shutdown will take place in some areas due to scheduled regular maintenance work of TANGEDCO for Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation that requires accomplishing safety and reliability measures of power infrastructure like repair, installation, and upgrading of power lines or transformers.

2. What is the area affected with power shutdown today?

This is the specific areas which might be different, and usually TANGEDCO also gives a list of the locality it is going to affect. You can visit their official TANGEDCO website or simply call their customer service hotline to get an actual list of places that are already without power today.

3. How long will the power outage last?

The time required for shutdown depends upon the type of work being carried out. Usually, any form of work is closed down for maintenance work between 6 to 8 hours, though TANGEDCO specifies specific timeframes in the notice. Normally, it ranges from 9 am to 5 pm.

4. If the job is completed before time will power supply be resumed before?

Yes, in case of early completion of the maintenance work, TANGEDCO will supply electricity before the stipulated end time. After all, even then, too there are technical reasons for delay.

5. How to know my area is affected?

You can try and get the details from TANGEDCO’s website, their updates on social networking sites, or you may contact the office at your area to get the information. You can also get the information from the news channels concerned and local media of the affected areas.

6. During shutdown, what precautions need to be taken?

• Disconnect sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers and TVs, to avoid potential damage from power surges when electricity is restored.
• Charge your must-haves, like your phones and laptops, in advance.
• Stock up before, by preserving water in case you have electrical pumps.
• Have an alternate lighting source, such as candles or a lantern that can be run off batteries.

7. What if my power is not restored when the scheduled outage ends?

In case of delayed restoration, you can lodge a complaint at TANGEDCO’s helpline and make an online complaint through their website. The news in your locality could also be such that there might be other reasons for the delay.

8. Am I eligible to receive compensation for the inconvenience caused during power shutdown?

No. Scheduled maintenance power shutdowns typically are not compensated by any means since they must be done to ensure grid reliability and safe deliveries of electricity.

9. Are there some areas or services that usually are exempted from a power shutdown?

Usually, areas or services deemed critical infrastructure, including hospitals and emergency services, are not cut off since they enjoy back-up supply or are privileged to be restored first. Residential and commercial areas usually suffer.

10. How will I receive updates on the dates of future scheduled power shutdowns?

• Be rest assured, you shall remain informed about:
• You could subscribe to the alerts of TANGEDCO and follow their social media pages.
• Keep visiting the official website for updates.
