Why Coimbatore Power Shutdown?
Meanwhile, power shutdowns are usually scheduled by electricity boards for maintenance and safety reasons. They are often carried out to inspect, repair, or upgrade transformers and circuit breakers as part of substation maintenance. Another common reason is feeder line strengthening, which involves replacing old cables or conductors to ensure a steady and reliable power supply. Officials have advised residents and business establishments in the affected areas to make necessary arrangements and complete power-dependent tasks before the scheduled shutdown. Power supply is expected to be restored ahead of schedule if the work is completed early. TANGEDCO has also urged the public to cooperate during the maintenance period, emphasizing that these periodic shutdowns are essential to ensure a safer and more reliable electricity network across Coimbatore.
