Ok, It's Storm season, has been for nearly two months, we loose power from trees falling on lines, from poles being damaged.
Yesterday afternoon, it started to rain, not heavy and we lost power.
90 minutes later it was restored, a tree weakened by a storm about 10 days ago fell onto wires. Essential Energy had it repaired pretty quick.
Yet in local groups, people were blaming EE for the loss of power, sure it was warm, but not bloody hot or unbearable, yet they were whinging and calling for our council to take responsibility.
Have people lost the plot completely these days?
We purchased a 3.6kva genny last year, because we loose power often, we have a gas cook top and oven, we have a gas lantern installed next to the cooktop.
We have LED lights at the ready,
Why can't people take responsibility for themselves?

We have guaranteed service levels, which I would think all States have?  For extended outages, (24hr plus?) we receive automatic credits on our account.  We have has two payments of $100  over the past 8 years.  Payments are capped at $160.  Aurora will also provide documentation for your private insurer if your policy so covers.

Further to my post.
I wasn't the only one to question others responsibilities. I have since learnt that Essential Energy will, in the event of a power failure assist with a Genny back up for those on power reliant medical machines(home dialysis, etc), they do encourage patients to be prepared for power outages.

Hi,
   Last major outage resulted in some hundreds of weekend shack owners on Bruny Island getting a windfall payment even if they had left the power turned off at the time.
Cheers

The only time I've heard of it before, was when someone yelled to me "Shut ya pie hole"
4.2L TD Toyota Troopy, (Clarke's Country Camper Trailer, softfloor.) sold it and bought a Avan Ray small poptop caravan.
