there is cont. power cut in coolaimedu ( veera pandian nagar ) almost all throught the day. we have voltage drop and this has brought up many electrical upset. our stabilizers are not working due to uncontrolled power supply . EB department people neglect to take the complaints and delay in rectifying it. there is no permanant solution for the problem. there are many industries running around veera pandi nagar which may be one of the reason for the power supply. do make some rectifying work to avoid many problems.

Dear complainers,

we can't merely complaint on E.B dept, we have to consider their position into account also.
actually i am an engineering student i am doing a project for providing a source for this uninterrupted power supply. i too was in the hand of this present power shut down crisis. i just want to find a way to avoid this.

i am taking a survey on this crisis, that is how many persons r suffering? and how far they r suffering?.
if any o[censored] come across any problem because of the EB dept. please provide ur complaint to my mail id also. because for each and every complaint definitely a spark will be created. and sooner i'll finish my project. if it is applicable practically we can avoid the current frequent power cuts. help me to complete my survey. not only u i[censored]r neighbour or any o[censored]r surrounding members face any problem either it may be minor or major, anything it may be please send a mail to me also.

my mail id:[protected]@sify.com

    Low Voltage and frequent Power Cuts

    Dear ICC.in,
    I am residing at Valmeeki Street, Thanigai Nagar, kolathur, chennai-600099. In my area during the past 4 summers there is a severe low voltage trouble and frequent power cuts are happening. During this hot season there is always about 160v to 175v only supplied so that the fans in my house are revolving very slow and we all are suffering in a worst sultriness. Despite of repeated complaints for a required action to resolve...

    Elecricity Department — Poor Power cut of EB Department

    No body in the world to ask about the Poor Power cut of EB Department which is happening recently in tamilnadu.

    Tamil Nadu is forwarding to the stoneage period
    I have ever seen such a irresponsible persons as in Madipakkam EB office. I had a problem with my EB line often, whenever we are logging a complaint there was no proper response.
    they will ask to register our complaint in a notebook and I don't know what is the purpose of registering the complaint.
    My old parents and my kids were suffering a lot because of this power cut. When I say about my old parents and kids, they started scolding and told everyone is having old parents and kids...

    Really, I dn't know who will take action against all these irresponsibilities...

    In Bharathiary Street Extension, Low Voltage (500 KVA Tr.) and poor (loose) jumper connections were already complained vide TNEB-1436. But without attending the loose connections, the complaints status was seen as “closed” in your website.

    It is seen that your staff discard all low voltage problems altogether citing grids’ low voltage. During peak load supply voltage, as per their own statement was only 9.0 KV. For this HT voltage the LT voltage (S.ph) must be 196V. But it is on ly 135-140V from 9.00 p.m to 2.00 a.m. Also the voltage rapidly fluctuates during this time as though welding sets are connected to the LT network.

    For all these, the main reason is low jumpering in the LT network. If this is rectified, we may get atleast 185 volts less LT line drops.

    Kindly educate your people how to make LT jumpering without loose connections and let us feel good voltage.

    If you fail to do this we will be left with no other choice except going to TN Electricity Regulatory Commission to educate your people about loose jumpering.
    I AM RESIDENT OF 1ST MAIN ROAD, LAKSHMI NAGAR, VELACHERRY. THERE IS FREQUENT LOW POWER VOLTAGE FOR THE PAST 1 MONTH. i REQUEST YOU TO RECTIFY THE SAME AT THE EARLIEST.

    dear sir,

    many people from madipakkam area and myself complainted about the madipakkam eb office regarding the low voltage, i donot know why the government /the higher authorities are silent in takeing action on the tneb office madipakkam. the attitude of the staff and employees of eb office is so lathagic and answering to the consumers feels to get irritated. i suspect the complaints we register in this website are being forwarded are notified to the concern people or the concern people donot want to take any action on the eb office. it is really painfull and surprising till now the problem is not being solved regarding the low voltage. i belive the govt and authorities are also like one among them. they too very lathagic in takeing action against the eb office madipakkam.
    Voltage fluctuations are not to be taken as complaints..please ignore it...this is the statement received from EB office, madipakkam...Happy news is that their voice is coordial now..."Sir kindly ignore voltage fluctations...i don't have any answer to it..please hang up sir.(in tamil)"

    understand the power demand is more than the power supply, but what about power theft being done legally and illegally...God help.

    Dear sir,
    I am living at Rahuman street, Golden George nagar, Nerkundram, Chennai. My service no.[protected], I am getting voltage fluctuation in our region. Due to this all the electrical appliances are getting repaired. It has happened for past week. 2days back my PC and TV were badly damaged. We have already tried to give complaint. They have pushed me pillar to post. But no one really cares and listens to our complaints. This is really ridiculous service by EB department.

        about 70 to 80 Resisdence with close to 400 people, who are paying their bills in time are facing huge challenge to live here in 8th Cross Street, 4th Main Road, Anna Nagar, Pammal Chennai 75 as Power cuts is a frequent breath taker. Most of the time power shuts down in the late/mid night. And to add to the agony, EB complaint cell herein Pammal keeps the phone purposely busy so that they dont get disturbed, As I write this compalint, already 3 hours had passed by with out power and now it is 440am. No one attents the call or the complaint line would be kepy purposely busy. When poeple of this localty together tried to meet AE of this area, his reply was - JUST LIKE A GOVT OFFICIAL Reply. Were are we heading towards, i really suspect. The problem is every week 3 days for sure people had to suffer a power shut down for atleast 6 hours and all this falls in the mid/late nights. We are fed up with the local EB guys. I think a serious thought process and strong step has to be taken either by consume forum or EB higher ups to change/remove/suspend few EB guys here in pammal along with the officers holding this office, so that people donot face this sort of issue anymore.

        HAVE I WRITTEN AND PROJECTED OUR PROBLEM TO THE CORRECT CONCERN AUTHORITIES.
        WOULD ANY ACTIONS WOULD BE TAKEN -
        WOULD POWER FAILURE WONT BE ANY MORE OUT BREATH TAKER.

        I am a resident of Nilamangai Nagar. Adambakkam. Of late, there is regular powercut during night especially after 9 PM or 10 PM, eg. there was no power from around 10 PM to 11 PM on 10/07/2013 and no power from 09 pm to 9.30 pm on 11/07/2013. Previously, there was scheduled powercut for 2 hours during the day time. Now the power cuts are unscheduled and occurs at any time. The power supply is not restored immediately. Even if one tries to call the Adambakkam EB office phone number 22604330, the line is always engaged and one is able to get the line only after the power is restored. It seems the EB office people are taking off the receiver of the telephone wantonly so that no one will be able to complain. This shows their irresponsible attitude.
        The same is the case with 155333. There is no useful response even if anybody is able to get the line. Due to the powercuts at night those people who are working are not able to sleep properly at night and find it difficult to get up early and go to the office in the morning. Children and old age people are badly affected as well as aspiring students.
        Every year this is the same problem. They cut power for long hours at night and then say it is due to cable fault, cable has melted due to summer etc. It is funny to note that a cable is able to melt at night due to the heat of sunlight. Are the cables made of sub-standard quality. If it rains also, they immediately cut the power and say it is raining and there are heavy winds. This is exactly the answer we have got several times. Even during the time when power is there, the voltage is frequently fluctuating and causes problems in operating computers. Air conditioners do not function at all. All consumers are paying through their nose, for the power which is sub-standard. Will the authorities look into this matter and provide power without voltage fluctuation and avoid powercuts at night time?
        hi,

        our daily mid night power cut starts.
        now. Our CM annonced there is no power cut from 1st jun 2014. But that annoncemet is not yet reached by pammal office.

        Because we are facing daily four hour power cut in mid night timing. 7 to 11 PM. One sad thing there is no communication system working in that EB office. If you call that number its always busy for 24 hrs. Can you please help us to convey our CM message to pammal EB office.( due to communication system failiure.)



        thanks

          There is also a power fluctuation in Ganesh nagar, keelkatalai -600117 from May12th till date(may-19) daily atleast 5 times a day.Even before we had this but not too often.But now its getting too worse.

          We were not able to sleep properly due to power fluctuation at night .This happens every 1-2 hours.

          There has been an article in Deccan chronicle as well
          Topic:Power fluctuations still haunt suburban areas
          Date:May 16th, 2009
          But it seems that TNEB has denied this and said there is no complaint on this.Most of them may not know where to complaint on this.If they could provide the contact number and the person of contact in any magazine it would be helpful for the public to reach them immediatly.
          Its causing huge damage to our electrical and electronics equipments.
          It would be great helpful for us if this would be addressed ASAP .
          I am a resident of Karthikeyapuram, Madipakkam. For months together, we have very bad power fluctuation and voltage drops here. When my electrician checked in the afternoon he said it was 160 volts only. Our AC is not working at that voltage. Hence he advised to put a Double Boost stabilizer, which he said will work even upto 140 volts (costs around Rs.4000). I did that. Even after that during nights, the Double Boost doesn't work after 8.30 - 9.00 pm (It seems voltage drops even below 140 volts !). One more bigger problem is my Computer UPS is not at all getting charged due to low voltage. Whenever I switch on the computer, it stands only for 5 minutes and immediately when there is a fluctuation, the UPS dies and the computer switches off abruptly without properly shutting down. I am afraid I will loose my good equipment like computer, AC, heater, TV etc. It is not only for me but for all the residents of Karthikeyapuram, Madipakkam. If such equipment wears out, it will be a calamity for many residents. Thus, hard earned money will be lost due to power shortage and voltage drops. Request TNEB to take necessary steps IMMEDIATELY to stop voltage fluctuation and power cuts. Regards / Bharathkumar

              I am residing in Puzhuthivakkam Municipality. My home comes under the Madipakkam TNEB control. When They have seperated the Puzhuthivakkam Connections from Madipakkam area my service number changed. But my area still retained under Madipakkam Service Area.

              1. First of all they come to my area for reading as they wish, they have taken reading for my house only three times in last one year.
              2. Even If they take the reading for my house, since my connection number belongs to a different service area they don't enter the reading.
              3. When ever I go for the payment, They ask me to stand in a different queue to get the reading updated in their system and then on another queue for payment. The Staff Madipakkam TNEB bill payment section literally behaving rude. Simply they are saying if you want to complain go and complain to any one, even to the Chief Minister, We don't bother.

              I have given a request for correcting the Service number almost 6 months back, still it is not corrected. I have met AE & the Billing Supervisor of Madipakkam section every time I went for payment and requested him to take appropriate. Both are giving commintment that it will be corrected in next cycle. But almost 3 Cycles over no action yet. This month also they have not taken reading.

              I am not sure how to solve the issue. Any on who know the proper channel to escalate the issue, please let me know.

              How to make these people to work for Public !!!

                We have frequent voltage fluctuation in Annanagar Y block, 5th street.
                Regular fluctuation after 9.30 p.m for the last one week.
                Daily I am calling up the respective AE of this area to rectify it.
                He promises that problem will not persist from the next day but in vain.
                I am scared let my household electrical things may damage. Kindly take some stern action against this negligence.

                  I stay in Bakthavatsalam colony, vadapalani, chennai 26. There is a Electricity box (cable termination box) in front of our gate and there are big black live cables lying around the box like a cobweb. There are frequent short circuits of the underground cable just in front of our house. This happens with a loud cracker like noise and a big fire. Yesterday, all of a sudden we heard a noise and there was a big fire in front of our house. all the while kids were playing near the gate, thank god this happend a little later. Immediately the power went off. when the TNEB persons came for the repair, we asked them about the remedy, they say that it is definitely a risk and it can happen antime again. We feel very insecure even to come out of our house...and need a solution. pls help...

                    Respected sir,

                    We people who are living in choolaimedu, abdullah street are extremely fed up with the very low voltage power supply in our area. We have complained several times even directly to the A.E, but there is no response. Actually a transformer was sanctioned in our area about six months ago, but still there is no sign of it. The higher officials in TNEB have collected bribe fro the mansion owners in abdullah street and hence are not caring about our problem. The transformer was sanctioned to be built near the mansion, but the mansion owners somehow bribed the TNEB officials, and avoided the transformer set up. Some mansions in our street have illegally built up an extra floor or two. Moreover there is a reliance fresh supermarket in our area which absorbs heavy load of current. So we people who live in abdullah street choolaimedu are requesting you to take the necessary steps required, so that we people can get a normal current supply.

                    THANKING YOU,
                    YOURS TRULY,

                    I am a resident of Karthikeyapuram, Madipakkam. For months together, we have very bad power fluctuation and voltage drops here. When my electrician checked in the afternoon he said it was 160 volts only. Our AC is not working at that voltage. Hence he advised to put a Double Boost stabilizer, which he said will work even upto 140 volts (costs around Rs.4000). I did that. Even after that during nights, the Double Boost doesn't work after 8.30 - 9.00 pm (It seems voltage drops even below 140 volts !). One more bigger problem is my Computer UPS is not at all getting charged due to low voltage. Whenever I switch on the computer, it stands only for 5 minutes and immediately when there is a fluctuation, the UPS dies and the computer switches off abruptly without properly shutting down. I am afraid I will loose my good equipment like computer, AC, heater, TV etc. It is not only for me but for all the residents of Karthikeyapuram, Madipakkam. If such equipment wears out, it will be a calamity for many residents. Thus, hard earned money will be lost due to power shortage and voltage drops. Request TNEB to take necessary steps IMMEDIATELY to stop voltage fluctuation and power cuts. Regards / Bharathkumar

                    There is a frequent voltage drop in my street due to the welding shop in in my street.I gave my first complaint a month back still there seems to be no response.The cable provided to our street where low tension cables and they are unable to handle such high welding power supply.They finally end up in fuse cut.

                    Moreover i`ve heard from some people that those power supply used for welding is illegal usage.

                    And this is my final complaint if nessary action is not taken, i will write letter to highest authority in TNEB.

                    Thank you.

                      no response received till now and kindly look into it please and mentally we are upset.

                      Low voltage problem is very bad during peak hours 9PM to 11:30pm in the night.

                      We are unable to use even tube lights during that time - voltage is less than 200 volts.

                      complaint numbers: TNEB_693 and TNEB_692

                      Complete Buddar Street, Part of Gandi street, Kulothungan street and Kulothungan cross street these problem of low voltage is there due transformer issue and every year same answer is coming from local EB office without any solution.

                      Thank you,

                      Regards,

                        procedure for reconnection after 2yrs

                        Hi,

                        Due to personal reasons, I was unable to pay my electricity charges for 2yrs (the house was locked too for 2yrs). As per procedure, my connection was disconnected. Now, I'm want my connection back. When we went to submit the appl for reconnection, they said that we need to pay a sum of Rs.35000/- as they can't give us the connection back, and only new connection can be given. How far is this true ? Has anybody...

                            During Jul'08, I had been to the E.B office of Chitlappakkam, Chennai -64 to make the payment of the current month's electricity bill. When I went there, the officials said that the Meter Readings were not updated in their Databases. Hence, they asked me to handover the EB Reading Card and the Money (INR 472) so that they can credit into my account as the last date of payment was nearing. I did the same and I approached the EB office ore than thrice to collect my EB Reading Card. But, the person to whom I had handed over the Card and the Money wasn't there all the time. So, collected a fresh Reading Card from them and came back.

                            3 months later, the person to whom I had handed over the money visited my house and said that there is a due of INR 472. I refused to give him the money as I had already handed over the money some time earlier. This time, when I had been to the EB office for November Bill payment, the same person said that he paid the due of INR 472 on my behalf just keep me off from the Penalty. But, I refused to give him money again.

                            I have a question to the Tamilnadu Electricity Board. "Have you employed such persons who can make the payment from their pockets when the public (Common Man) has not paide the bill on date?"

                            Thanks

                            Dear Sir,
                            It’s really sad for me to making this complaint on our own EB. It’s because of pure Negligence of EB Officials.
                            For the past 6 months we are facing this problem. We were remitting EB payment in Ullagaram branch. Till last month we remitted the payment in Ullagaram Branch. Whenever we remit the payment at least 2 to 3 times I have to go to both madipakkam and Ullagaram branches to clarify where I have to pay the bill. Madipakkam EB employee was telling that I need renumbering for my service number which has to be provided by Ullagaram Branch. When I enquire in Ullagaram branch they are blaming madipakkam AE. We spoke to both the branch Assistant Engineer’s and they simply blaming each other and I have to go back and forth for the both the branches. At last as consumer we are the victim and facing the problem. Please help me sir. All I want is where I can remit the payment? And what is the renumber for my consumer number?. This month both the branches denied to accept the payment.
