Power outages approx 1 - 2 times a week for about a 2 and a half hour period.

Food in fridge wont go bad for power being off for only 2 and a half hours.

Reset flashing clocks every time. Really frustrating.

Some people have diesel backup generators - some do not.

Times vary from area to area on a rotation basis. This month my outage is from about 1300-1530 but from next month it could be from 0800-1030 or 1700-2030 etc.

This might have to go on for the next 5 years until more power plants are built as they just cant keep up with the demand. Hopefully it wont be that long. It disrupts business service / traffic lights which in turn causes chaos traffic jams / trying to cook dinner at night etc.... really really poor show!
