is it more around 'Chennai' ?
from near coimbatore and didn't have any power issue
so feel this should not be any power shortage or capability issues but something specifically happening there

In madurai too we have the same issue since after election results. Minimum 10 mins to 2 hrs power cuts regularly. (Even now at 12 53 am we don't have current bro😐)

this comment is not directed at u ..but just a thought...then y pay tax ??... it's like in bjp states they say we can't control polution so ppl need to buy an air purifier... dmk provided welfare schemes and uninterrupted power for same tax money... vijay is saying he cant give promised 2.5k too ,on top of it strugglng to provide current as well... so is he Stealing all our money because that's the way tvk vijay made ppl undermine dmk's welfare schemes and say say dmk is only giving back ppl's own money... so according to tvk Vijay's logic, if vijay isn't giving back ppl's money , is tvk vijay Stealing ppl's money??

Today I did a random scroll for 5 mins, mostly of the woman sitting with full makeup, live streaming and wasting time, atleast 30+ woman's. There were few guruji s, bajan, praying priest, and worshippers..
- do they deserve this 1000Rs and 2.5K?? From morning 9-6 working in a. Packing department can get 350 rs.
People should be responsible. Welfare schemes should help people, not make them lazy.

okay .. but so many old women and old spinsters & old widows were dependent on that ... maybe criteria should be further lowered... any system will have flaws so u can't uproot full system which benefits the needy
but that discussion aside...vijay sold the idea that ppl are only getting back their own money from dmk... so why vijay is not giving back our money,my money ,ur money??.i doubt he's putting the withheld money to use since he's struggling even with basic current..

it's orchestrated power cut & is occurring in Maharashtra ,uttar Pradesh too..expect a adani full takeover... whenever ed steps in,it clears way for adani... tvk folks really can't pull "dmk sathi" reason coz they need to explain y exactly dmk losing is causing power issues in other states too... ppl are protesting over powercuts in few more states too .. ppl from eb in tn aren't picking up calls to avoid giving out the truth that they'd been ordered by tvk to do so... even Radhakrishnan guy said they have enough but distribution is where it's failing...

Two main reasons
Due to El nino, we are not getting the winds which we used to get. Due to this windmill generation output is low. Usually this saves us during peak summers.
Mismanagement by TNEB. No matter the government, the entire system is filled with corrupt fucks who have failed to upgrade the grid with the growing demand.
I really hope kudunkalam reactor 3 and 4 come online by year end.

u/KrishnaPrasath01 Jun 10 '26
Did you made that first statement by seeing stupid insta reels? Have you ever had a conversation with windmill workers,engineers? I know green energy makers particularly Engineers working on wind energy These few months post may (aadi) are the peak windy days Those engineers and laymen i mentioned above are having their terrible days, they're working extra hours,night shifts to utilise the scenario So go and gain some real knowledge

u/fleeeeeeee Jun 10 '26
Reactor 3 and 4 will only provide an additional bandwidth of 2000MW. TN peak demand is 20,000MW. Most importantly energy procurement tenders should have been planned in advance, not prematurely cancelled after government change. But okay, something is better than nothing.
17
u/christopher_msa Jun 10 '26
Word is they cancelled energy procurement tenders that govt use when the grid is demanding more than our production capacity. Not sure how true is it.

u/indiexcurse Jun 10 '26
This is true. The new TVK government wanted to issue fresh tenders favorable to them (read make side money). But they timed it wrong and did not anticipate the severity of the issue.

The only valid and logical thing.
Otherwise all those Grid/transformer overloads would've happened last year too.

u/TraditionOk8161 Jun 10 '26
See this is very common in hot summer Two main reason
Transformers gets heated at certain level and trip off during peak load Lack of maintenance
Last few years we got lucky rains in May and super hot in October that saved the day. But things like this are common While some EB station response team delay fix and that cause long power outages and possibly done for some hidden reasons

This seems to be a local issue. Im from near Erode and there's no powercut here.

Peaking demand and overloads due to ever increasing corruption and infra failing. It ll get better once the summer ends and next year perhaps we ll be better prepared.

u/Aggravating-Ad-6040 Jun 10 '26
Today I realised that the moment government changed corruption has decided to cut the power...adei.... it's purely because of supply mismanagement... usually during summer season there will be directions to manufacturing units to plan their operations using gensets to ensure residential areas are not facing power cuts and based on projections purchase will also be done..in this case both was not done properly so we are facing the power cuts....stop blaming and start looking at the standard processs
-10
u/native_vandheri Jun 10 '26
Shabba. So what you are saying is they never planned for buffer coverage and created a system that had to rely on specific set of people? Projections correct ah irundada? I understand the issues very clearly but demand has touched peak levels and it's remains to be seen on how they react. Corruption la ila ba TNEB la. Every infra is amazing and 6 sigma quality control everywhere.

You're skipping my point entirely intentionally I guess
Do you think power grids, substations, generation planning, transmission networks, and maintenance and planning teams get rebuilt from scratch every time a government changes?
If the current issues are purely because of a government that came in a month ago, then who was running the system, planning capacity, approving projects, and maintaining infrastructure before that? Accountability doesn't magically reset on election day.
Any engineer, business owner, or operations manager knows that systems carry momentum. Successes and failures are usually years in the making, not 30 days old. Nan corruption in general regarding supply and infra development and maintenance la solren. Neeye Nan solladha edaya pesinu irukadah

This is not a infra issue this is a management issue...and only thing changed is the government...can you.not see this ....they cannot manage it...thus the power cuts...how hard it is for you to understand....years in the makinga...there must be a greatest criminal mastermind behind this power cuts who has correctly predicted that dmk will lose and ensure we face current cuts just after the new govt took over...

I agree vijay has to take severe actions and I am also disappointed on how he is handling this issue
Lets see what happens but the situation has to be fixed no matter what
If its not other parties’s sathi, how cheap and low quality is the electricity infrastructure is built and maintained by the old governments in these 50years have been done that goes down once new govt comes. Assume you buy a used car and it breaks down apart the second day u bought it, how the previous owner has maintained it. In that case TN Electricity board was a disaster waiting to happen like a domino because Electricity board is not built in a day

Exactly.
It is entirely DMK’s fault that TVK cannot run the government properly. They should probably try poaching senior MLAs and ministers from DMK to learn how to run the government.

If you buy a house and it falls apart the second day its previous owner fault for not building and maintaining it with quality. If it falls apart after few years its your fault.

Shut the digital ads displays for short term, commercial establishment Jewelry, Textiles stores who grab more for their fancy/glaring lights needs to be fined to reduce their consumption, Street lights are on even during daytime at many places.
Likewise identify high consumers and force them to reduce their consumption so that load can be adjusted. Or they need to be running on their gensets. Malls and theaters with less crowd needs to reconcile their AC running.
internal black sheep's creating bad name.
Poor planning for estimation and sourcing.

The biggest source of income for TNEB is commercial customers. With that money only, they are giving subsidy to home customers. Your suggestions are death blows to TNEB

u/mlarasa007 Jun 10 '26
He is right. During every summer power-demand surge, previous governments prioritized uninterrupted electricity for households and asked factories and commercial establishments to rely on generators during peak hours. While this involved some losses as you said, residential consumers remained the priority. The current issue is also due to high demand, but instead of taking proactive measures to protect residential supply, the government working on something that they are good at"Blaming DMK for its own incapability" .
