Imagine if your house needed some work done!
That's what's happening in some parts of Chennai.
The electricity company, TANGEDCO, is doing important maintenance, which means they have to turn off the power for a few hours on Friday.
This will affect neighborhoods like Karambakkam and Ponni Nagar from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon.
While the power is off, the company is also dealing with some other things.
They've had to take action against some of their staff for not following rules and for misusing money.
