Programmed Power Cuts?

3 months ago
We were threatened that Electric would be rationed, and it looks as if they are sneaking these in by the back door, starting with Rural areas.
This week we have had four, six hour power cuts, no rain, no storms, wall to wall sunshine, and no explanation from EPM, except to say, 'Damage in the area' today apparently the work was completed, the Contractors gone home, but forgot to reconnect the service... how convenient.
It's a good job we have a limited solar backup, and Generator, but I doubt we will be getting a refund on a crap service.
The general consensus is that they are starting the cuts in rural areas to test the reaction, before spreading to urban areas.
