      Hey, We are also facing the same issues in Chennai Chromepet., Even though if we raise our voices, these people will never take any action unless if you are in high profile. Hope you will understand about our Govt.
      Hello Madam,
      I am staying in Jegajeevan ram colony, Selaiyur 20th Ward. WE are facing severe low volage problem. We have raised many concerns with our counselor and Electricity persons. They are not ready to irrect transformers at our area. Simply saying there is no space to errect. WE have told them to errect in front of our home. They are not ready to do that. Request you to take immediate necessary action to resolve our issue.
      SPJ Nagar Ayyampet 614201, Papanasam Taluk, Thanjavur dist, Tamilnadu
      Voltage plunges to 130 volt at nights. Heavy voltage pluctuation enogh to damage household appliances. Reported several times earlier but to no response until now. Seems electricity is stolen of side drained by some affluent consumer with the knowledge of Ayyampet 614 201 TNEB office staff. Immediate recificaion sought.

        My meter has a different reading from what is recorded in the card. One of the number is wrongly recorded and has caused a increase in charges to ten times. When contacted the A.E., he says nothing can be done as the payment is made and keep paying the minimum till you reach the reading that has been written. I used to pay Rs.90 now it has come to close to Rs.938 as the slab is different.
        Sir, my EB service no.[protected] after change the digital meter on 21-09-14, the eb reading shows high.
        Before meter change average units/2months : 35 unIits,
        After change the digital meter units/2months: 240 units
        I paid four time higher charges for the last two bills. Pl. Do the needful

          Sir, Sub: 3 PHASE CONNECTION EXIST BUT ONLY 2 LINES WORKING VERY IRREGULARLY. I am residing at No 33 A block 6th street Annanagar east Chennai 600102. I have the following EB connections[protected], [protected],[protected],[protected]. I wish to place on record in writing that though I have three phase connection only two lines are working interchangeably for the past few months resulting in frequent tripping off thus compelling us to call the MES breakdown to restore the connection almost daily basis. The EB field staffs tell me that the problem is due to faulty leaky cable that needs to be changed. A week before there was display of sound and light show due to burning o[censored]nderground cable in the middle of the night. ( spark were flying out of the ground accompanied with loud crackling sound ). I would like to remind you the public risk involved due to the faulty and leaky cable especially during the rains. Hence i request you to take the necessary steps to have the faulty cable changed that has not been working for more than a year but so far nothing has been done to permanently solve the problem except for temporarily restoring the supply leading to frequent snapping of the power supply. I request you to send the right technical staff to check the inflow lines and set the cable fault right and balance the distribution of the power to all the three phases evenly.

            Hi, There is no power since 10:00 PM of 21-June-2014. Now the time is 00:15 AM of 22-June-2014. I called to "1912" to check the reason and to know the turn around time for restoring power supply. I have got two versions. First one was, there is a trip and the same will be resolved in 30 minutes (this was committed by customer care executive around 11:15 PM. And the second version is around 11:45 PM; customer care executive says "will inform the concern person and get it rectified soon" Anybody there in TNEB to address the issue ontime and ensure uninterrupted power supply. Government is changing for every 5 years. But not the government officials. I strongly believe, its your duty to provide permanent solution, and put into social forums if you are not getting support from any of the higher officials to implement your ideas to address this power issue permanently. Thanks and regards, Jothiraj. U Ph: [protected]

Tube lights are not working.I have complained Local TNEB office.TO avoid this issue, kindly provide the Transformer in our area due to no.of houses increased from 6 to 60 houses. please help me in this issue.

Even after complaining the issue to our A.E Mr.Shanmugasundaram and Foreman Ganesan No action taken till date. As per foreman statement this issue is because of damaged cables and over power consumption from the small scale industries located in the subsequent streets. Our humble request is to change the damaged cables and provide continuous power supply without any interruption.Hope my concern would be considerable at least this time Thanks, Senthil

Hence for few houses there is no proper power supply and always having low voltage. Couldn't sleep at all. So kindly do the needful ASAP. With regards, TNHSCB Resident

                            Sir/Madam, This is S.Ramesh Living in Vadivelu main street, Perambur, Chennai. For Past 1 month There is nearly 3 to 4 hours of power cut, mainly during night after 10:00PM. My house is a single phase. We couldn't tolerate this power cut daily in this summer season. Working with stress at office and while at home if there is a power cut like this means how could we able to manage or sleep. children and patient mother at home are struggling due to this problem. when I called to TNEB complaint number its always busy, I think most probably they are putting the phone receivers down to avoid our calls. There are more population in my area but still there are only few transformers which is overloading and fails to work. I kindly request you to take necessary step to resolve this problem immediately. phone - [protected]

                                  Hello!! Its over years Madipakkam Ram nagar area has seen a proper power consumption. This is been a serious issues and there is no one to address on this till date. This area is always prone to low voltage and power cuts. None of our electronic appliances works in a day right from Refrigerator, Oven and the washing machine. The area is supposedly said to be developing but there is no proper power supply. There is high tension wire on the 5th cross st- 6th main road jn; which runs almost on the groudn level.. Everytime a truck crosses the wire is cut and people have to keep calling EB office to make it alright... There are so many apartments coming around still it has got only one transformer to supply for the whole area. Poor thing ppl are suffering so much inspite of paying huge tarrif to you guys..!!! We are very much regretting for having bought a new flat to this area. Till the time we have come here we live as if we are in some outward rural village of the country..without any of our appliances work it's jus been a doll in our households. We spend a lot for its maintenance without even using them.. This is a very serious issue for the whole area which needs to be sorted out real soon. You guys have so much power supply to give for all the stupid shopping malls and other idiotic party meetings which will blow off huge power just from our pockets.. Why would the poor public suffer from power failure after paying you intact everytime. Hope there is a solution to this issue real soon !! We people can only hope for solutions !! it's you the govt must must must have to take necessary action for the public out of whom you get to be in this country and ruling for years together !!! We are tax payers and we have all rights to demand what we want in this country !!! A very angry citizen of the country!!

                                        Hello, I am a resident of Periyar Nagar (Perambur), Daily we have a power cut problem late in the night and when called to the EB always the number is busy at times Switched off & if ringing will cut the call. They will come only after one hour to check what is the problem, then post that 2 to 3 times power will come and go for 10 minutes. It takes daily late 2.00 A.M in the night to go to bed. We have small kids in home, working people, who have to wake up early in the morning. Hope this forum will solve my query. Below were the power cut schedule. 17.06.2014(Tuesday) power cut time : 11.50 P.M to 1.50 A.M 18.06.2014(Wednesday) Power cut Time : 10.00 P.M to 12.30 A.M
                                        Complaint sent a week ago and no response for that also
