why you relate it to power shut down?

if the power grid in chennai was indeed connected to the national power grid, then there wouldnt be those so-called scheduled power-cuts. this probably means that since chennai does not have enough power for itself then how could it supply to other states ?

however, even if chennai does not supply but recieve power, then would it still be having power cuts ?

so in the end what does it all point to ?

Tamil nadu generates power and gives it to kerala. But there is still a power shut down in Tamil nadu for more then 14 hours dialy.
My question is that whether southern grid is connected with national grid

but i have studied that all grids are connected to the national grid, so why would southern grid be an exception?

I too don't no the reason behind it. Some people say, Its because the power generation in southern region is less.

Actually India has five grids which are all connected with each other. There is no exception for southern grid.

As far as your question is concerned regarding power cuts in Chennai, its not because power generation is less in southern region but the load must have increased in that area due to which the concerned authorities has to perform LOAD SHEDDING

India is divided into 5 Regions - Northern Region(NR), Eastern Region(ER), Western Region(WR), Southern Region(SR) and North-East Region(NER). Out of all these Regions the NR,ER,WR and NER are synchronized which is known as NEW Grid(runs on same frequency). Whereas SR is not synchronized with the rest of the regions with AC lines and hence runs on a slightly different Frequency. SR is connected with WR and ER with HVDC links only.
