Chennai power outage: A few places in the city of Chennai faced blackouts on Thursday night (September 12) following a fire that broke out in the Manali 400/230kV substation in North Chennai, causing sequential faults in both feeders at the substation and impacting the power supply to the city.

The power was restored by stepping up 230KV to 400KV and rerouting the power supply through Pulianthope towards the city, as per Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDO).
