| 06:45:09 | <Vokun> | Their power company needs an overhaul. I haven't had as many power outages in the past 20 years as IA has in one year |

| 15:52:06 | <@JAA> | I think I read somewhere a long while ago (after yet another of these outages) that IA may be getting a significantly lower price from PG&E in exchange for being near the top of the list for load shedding. Given how little IA shares in general about their operational details, I doubt this was official information though, so definitely don't take it as fact, but it seems superficially plausible at |
| 15:52:12 | <@JAA> | least. |
| 15:53:10 | <@JAA> | And yeah, I think I had two power outages in the past decade, both related to construction work, short-lived, and announced weeks in advance. |
| 16:31:01 | <steering> | PH&E is... umm... not exactly known for reliability |
| 16:31:04 | <steering> | PG&E* |
| 16:33:22 | <steering> | probably just another transmission line sagging into trees that they could decide to either cut a bunch of people off or cause a wildfire :P |
| 16:36:01 | <@JAA> | Well, it is in the middle of San Francisco, and I don't think SF as a whole is losing power this often, is it? |
| 16:50:42 | <steering> | probably not, I am being somewhat sarcastic |
| 16:51:59 | <steering> | I wouldn't be surprised if you're right though and it's basically "voluntary" load shedding |
| 16:52:52 | <steering> | lotta power co's here to heavily incentivize that for big users |
| 18:21:18 | <nicolas17> | JAA: if it's intentional load shedding, can't they give *some* advance notice? |
| 18:23:07 | <@JAA> | nicolas17: I don't know. Maybe they do, and IA just doesn't communicate that. |
| 18:23:21 | <nicolas17> | heck, maybe IA can also reduce its power consumption on request before resorting to an outage |

| 19:06:43 | <that_lurker> | haven't had a power outage in a while. I think the last one was because a substation caught on fire or something like that. Usually the power outages here in Finland (Turku) last around 30 minutes |
| 19:07:23 | <nicolas17> | my last one was a few weeks ago, lasted ~24h, then came back for an hour or two, then went out for another ~24h |
