The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) announced scheduled power maintenance across Chennai today. Grid servicing covers several distribution circles to prevent sudden breakdowns during peak demand hours. Technical teams are clearing overhead lines, servicing transformers, and upgrading local distribution switchgear. Essential feeder maintenance ensures long-term grid stability and uninterrupted electricity supply. Residents in designated sectors should prepare for temporary shutdowns throughout Monday.
Most scheduled disruptions start at 9:00 AM and usually wrap up by 2:00 PM. However, extensive maintenance in outer zones may stretch the outage window until 4:00 PM. Supply will resume earlier if crews complete technical servicing ahead of the planned timeline. Unfavourable weather conditions or unexpected rainfall might delay or defer planned grid maintenance. Field engineers will prioritize rapid power restoration once safety checks conclude successfully.

Household residents should turn off heavy appliances like water motors, air conditioners, and pumps. Unplugging sensitive electronic items prevents sudden voltage surges when power resumes. Avoid using residential lifts near scheduled shutdown times to prevent accidental entrapment. Keep essential medical devices and backup batteries charged until full restoration occurs. TANGEDCO will issue midday updates if technical issues extend estimated time of arrival (ETA) targets.
