TN Shutdown & TNEB Power Cut Schedule — About This Tracker

What Is TN Outage?

TN Outage is a real-time civic tracker for TANGEDCO (TNEB) power shutdowns — also called power cuts or outages — across all districts of Tamil Nadu. It aggregates official TNEB scheduled-shutdown notices and cross-checks them against live, community-verified reports and social media alerts — then maps every shutdown down to the specific streets and localities affected, not just the broad substation area.

Why Does TANGEDCO Schedule Power Shutdowns?

Most shutdowns listed here are planned, not faults. TANGEDCO schedules them for:

  • Routine maintenance — inspecting and servicing transformers, feeders, and substations to prevent unplanned failures
  • Line and capacity upgrades — replacing aging equipment or adding capacity for new connections
  • Safety work — trimming vegetation near lines, repairing damaged poles, pre-monsoon inspections
  • New connections — connecting new consumers to a feeder often requires briefly de-energizing it

TANGEDCO publishes these in advance precisely so consumers can plan around them — which is what this site exists to make searchable. Unplanned outages (storm damage, faults, overloading) show up separately, sourced from live local reports rather than an advance schedule.

How to Check Today's or Tomorrow's Power Shutdown Near You

  1. Use the district and section search (or the live map) to find your locality — results default to today, and you can switch the date to see tomorrow's published schedule too.
  2. Each shutdown card shows a mapping-confidence badge: MAPPED (matched to an exact TNEB section), APPROXIMATE (matched at the division/circle level), or UNMAPPED (raw TNEB notice, not yet resolved).
  3. See something that looks wrong for your street? Use Mark Incorrect or Verify Section on the card — that feedback improves mapping accuracy for everyone.

Preparing for a Scheduled Power Shutdown

  • Charge phones, laptops, and power banks ahead of the listed start time.
  • Avoid opening fridges/freezers unnecessarily once the cut begins, to preserve cold retention.
  • If you rely on an inverter or UPS, confirm it's charged before the outage window.
  • Unplug sensitive electronics — restoration surges can damage equipment left plugged in.
  • Set up a free browser push alert for your section so you're notified before the cut starts, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check today's power shutdown in my area?

Use the district and section search (or the live map) above to find your locality — every listing shows the exact streets affected, plus the start and stop time, for today's date by default.

Can I check tomorrow's power shutdown schedule in advance?

Yes — switch the date filter to tomorrow (or any upcoming date TANGEDCO has already published) to see what's planned in advance, not just what's active right now.

Why is there no current in my area right now if it's not on the schedule?

If your area isn't listed as a scheduled shutdown, the outage is likely unplanned — caused by a fault, storm damage, or overloading rather than routine maintenance. Switch the map's data-source toggle to "Twitter Notices" to see sudden/emergency outages TANGEDCO has announced on X, or use "Report a Live Outage" to flag it yourself so others nearby see it too.

Is this official TANGEDCO/TNEB data?

No — TN Outage is an independent civic aggregator. We pull TNEB's published shutdown schedules and combine them with verified local reports; we're not a TANGEDCO service.

How often is the data updated?

The schedule refreshes automatically throughout the day, with more frequent syncing during active outage hours.

What's the difference between a "shutdown," "power cut," "current cut," and "load shedding"?

"Shutdown" is TANGEDCO's own official term for a scheduled power interruption. "Power cut" and "current cut" are the everyday English and Tamil Nadu regional terms for the same thing. "Load shedding" technically means an unplanned cut from demand exceeding supply, though people often use it interchangeably.

Can I get notified before a power shutdown hits my area?

Yes, two ways: free browser push notifications and our Telegram channel cover real-time sudden/emergency outages at no cost. For advance WhatsApp alerts about scheduled maintenance in one specific TNEB section, that's a paid pass — ₹11 for 30 days.

Does TN Outage cover my district?

All districts across Tamil Nadu are covered, down to circle and section level.

Is there a bill calculator too?

Yes — a free TANGEDCO domestic electricity bill calculator supporting the May 2026 tariff amendment, including the 200-unit subsidy and pro-rata split-cycle math.

What if TANGEDCO doesn't restore my power on schedule?

Use the free Grievance Assistant to generate a formal complaint — it writes a letter in English and Tamil, a ready-to-post tweet tagging TANGEDCO, and a WhatsApp message you can share with neighbors, all from your connection details.
