Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] Complaints & Reviews

There is a frequent power cut happening in chembala (next to gudalur town, the Nilgiris 643 212).There is a powercut for more than 6 hours a day and no action is been taken related to this issue, in addition there is a fluctuation in voltage.But the gudalur town, which is very much close to this region doesn't have any issues regarding power cut.We don't get a satisfactory response for this issue.Everyone finds difficulty in leading their livelihood.please do take immediate action to stop this.

I have been facing severe disruption in power supply since the last 2 months. Terrible fluctuations, only one or two phases coming at will. The eb officials detected breakage in cable and made a joint.in the last 2-3 months the joint has given up on 4 occassions always demanding an emergency.

Eb officials have been recommending change of the entire cable length of nearly 20 mtrs right from day-1. Ae advised purchase of cable by me as eb will not replace the cable.in addition is the demand for labour everytime to dig the underground cable. The entire process has been costing money and had to be got done with no options available.

Yesterday, with great reluctance, eb at the direction of ae provided a temporary joint (Forthe fourth time) with the assurance to provide cable conncection today (20th may). I was advised to get new cable, get labourer and ensure laying of the cable, after which eb will ensure connectivity.

Desperate i had got the cable and arranged a labourer but in the morning ae informed that he can undertake this only tomorrow (21st may). So the temporary joint continues exposed to the skies and endangering animals and birds around.

Following require clarification:
1. Is the cable from pole to the meter board to be procured by consumer?
2. Is the consumer required to arrange labourers for digging and arrange laying out the cable from meter board to the pole?

Having suffered for the past 2-3 months, i request intervention to advise immediate rectification of the above and enable reliable power supply.

We are residents of villupuram town. The usual saturday shut down was announced and the power was off from 9.00a. M. Even after 7.45 p. M in the evening the power was not given.in this summer it's not necessary to define the suffocation inside the house without power. No words on the planning and maintainence of our government concerns. Proud to be an indian that too a tamilian. Jai hind!...

In the sathuvachery state bank colony area there is no power for the last three hours. There was no intimation either. On enquiry it is found that as new connection activities are undertaken for a new hotel at sathuvachery, the power has been swithced off. Is it not ridiculous that everybody should suffer in hot and severe sun for an individual hotel to get benefit. The work shuold have been undertaken in the period of evening or morning times where the suffering could have been less. It shows eb is not concerned with common man suffering compared to business establishement. No prior intimation was given for this power cut. The are consists of mostly senior citizens and patients. We need a proper explanation for this kind of attitude

Sir

I am a consumer in anna nagar west, g block, 1st street, i have made a complaint regarding my faulty meter replaced in december 2018.

I kindly request you to send me the line man to 394/2, iyyar thotam rr nagar alagapuram pudur salem-16 my humble request by tomorrow i need this to be cleared or i ll take action as per law

Sir,

I'am jayanth residing at avadi,
Paruthipet, indira nagar area.in our area there are nearly
5 apartments and about 50 independent houses (Approx). Here we get low voltage as low as 100 v to 180 volt at night time
Between 9 pm to 3am everyday, this is been for the past 3 year and no action has been taken from our local officials.
One time alone tneb officials came for checking voltage at day time around 10 am, but day time we don't have any
Problem in voltage and power fluctuation. These are not only low voltage, many times power cut and there is continuous
Fluctuation from 180 volt to suddenly 110 volt. "this is voltage sag", the voltage sag is not advisable for house hold equipments. Due to these our home appliances getting totally damaged and we are forced to buy new appliances. Here most of houses are cmda approved and the number of houses and connections is getting increased. Now also many apartments are being built here and the connection process are going with out erecting the transformer yet.
As per procedure i hope so each apartment connection must be approved with one transformer that is a rule in tneb, but "we have only one transformer to feed all these houses (4 apartments, 50 independent house one marriage hall etc) and that too connected and looped with other areas occasionally." i hope this is illegal connections given as of now. Probably all the houses here are with minimum two acs and a fridge used in all house.
Still now in each of the houses the ac compressor and fridge, led tvs and many home appliances is
Damaged, especially for ac compressor and fridge we spend rs 10000 for every repair.
In my house i spent rs 30000 to repair two ac compressor, and a fridge compressor, and other amenities which is an unnecessary expense for me. The fans and other electric appliances also not working during that time. Mainly compressors of cooling systems get affected and not able to repair it, we ought to buy only new compressor which is high in cost. But the problem is, still the new ones also running in low voltage and fluctuations which makes us fear, since it may get repair
Again. So please please take necessary action and move forward for erecting additional transformer to support
In future province also, or to avoid voltage fluctuations continuously, please provide if any alternate sources
Available from your end. I request to "please make it confidential" and the work been done from
Your side and also request to follow until the work gets completed from your officials. As a consumer we will thank
You and be very happy if its get done before summer arrives.
We as public consumer ready to help for any queries, the only intention o[censored]s is to solve the problem, i hope no public will give you such a detailed summary of problem instead of just complaining, i hope this issue will be get solved, and am following this from chennai officials for the past one year, but still we don't get any response. Also am for sure we need a 500 kva transformer here, please check that too, the 250 kva will not afford or will not solve the problem, again we will face the same issue. Recently the rto office and registrar office buildings also built here and the works are in progress but there is no any sign of work in progress from electricity board.

These problem is solvable but not taking any action regarding this in our area.
Our house hold equipment are damaged, many near by areas are getting full power with out any issues.
We know if transformer is erected this problem can be solved, but still there is a lag in this issue. Due to this our eb bill pay also high due to heavy fluctuation. Also the tariff price is triple the amount from the past five years of slab rate, but those time we got good power, but in the place of paying eb bill of about 3000 inr, we are paying 12000, 15000 inr etc, but now our electronic house hold products also get damaged inclusive of the eb bills too. This is a big burden for us. So please take it as a serious and sensitive issue and make it solve as soon as possible. As a public consumer we will be happy and thankful to you if its done quickly.


Thanks & regards

On 5th apr, my eb meter (Consumer no. :[protected] got slightly burnt and the line got tripped. Immediately informed & got corrected in poster and for me, meter disconnected and made it through.

For the same, rs. 1, 437 paid on 8th of apr to replace the meter. But, as of now yet to replace.

However, reading was taken this month shows rs. 2770. As the meter not in working condition, carry over of previous...

I'm from pathirakottai village, panruti tk. There is a power cut of 2 hours to my knowledge as i was out before that and now facing another power cut in night already 3 hours gone by now. I was searched for the eb number and got it in google but when i trying call that number it says the number is not correct. I don't know why the power cut is happening this long in summer. And i don't know this earlier as i was returned to my home after a long time but now suffering by not getting my sleep. I hope they sleep well, i wish them for that. Very upset with the service
