Translation. We are useless thieving twats that can't do maintenance and use this to bully and blackmail the paying customers to give us more money to loot
 
Screw the coldest winter in a decade. How about you've had DECADES to fix this mess, but you'd rather squander the money and line your own pockets.

**** you.

Just seen this myself on my mobile.
Russian roulette again, and the current colder night time weather won't help situation either.
 
Didn't they cut down on a lot of the power they were buying from alternative suppliers when lockdown started? What happened there, did they start buying from them again?
