Up to 13 hours is still insane. It's officially more than 50% of the day without power.

I know it is insane, I'm on 11.5 hours today, second 4 hour coming up

That can’t beat physics.

Probably windier.

Not that much by the looks of it

I think City Powers grid is very fragile at the moment. Some people in our area were off for 24hrs. Then our schedules were out of sync.

We were meant to have a 02:00 - 06:30 What actually happened:

Off at 01:37
On at 04:09
Off: at 05:19
On at 06:20

This for now. Eventually it's sorta free power if you squint hard enough. I paid up front three years ago. My house has suffered a total on 1hr outage since then.

Of course. I don't look at those numbers anymore.

True I paid a year ago, I've had 2 hours of no power and that's cause a friend came and sorted out my DB and the City Power came to replace my meter

Yeah all the numbers are made up and the stages don't matter
