The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) has planned a power shutdown on March 8, 2025 in various regions. This maintenance work aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of the electricity supply system. One of the major tasks during this shutdown is installing an extra 10MVA, 110/11KV power transformer in Alamathy and nearby areas. This upgrade will help increase the capacity and ensure better power distribution in the future.

Ongoing Maintenance Work
In recent weeks, TNEB has been carrying out similar maintenance work in different parts of Tamil Nadu. These scheduled power cuts are necessary to upgrade and strengthen the electricity network. The maintenance efforts are focused on ensuring a stable power supply and preventing unexpected power failures.
Tips to Manage the Power Cut
Residents in affected areas are advised to take necessary steps to reduce inconvenience during the power outage. Here are some useful tips:
- Charge mobile phones, laptops, and other essential devices before the power cut.
- Keep a power bank or backup battery ready for emergencies.
- Unplug electronic appliances like televisions and refrigerators to avoid damage from power surges when electricity is restored.
- Use alternative lighting sources such as candles, emergency lamps, or solar lights.
- Store enough water if your supply depends on an electric pump.
Timings
From 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in different areas.
TNEB has urged residents to stay informed about the power shutdown and any possible changes in the schedule. If electricity is not restored at the expected time, people can report the issue to the electricity board. By staying updated, residents can better manage the temporary disruption.
TNEB is committed to improving the power supply infrastructure, and these scheduled maintenance activities are essential for long-term benefits. Public cooperation and understanding play a key role in ensuring the success of these upgrades. Taking simple precautions can help reduce the impact of the power outage and make the process smoother for everyone.
