Power/electric supply problems in Suan Luang

[buksida]

A change this week - a Tuesday explosion and 180v for an hour or so which really messes with electrical appliances that need 230v. Thanks, PEA!

August has seen power outages for 1 week out of 4, or 26% of days for the month (43% if late July is included when it went off every day).

Mains water off again last night.

Luckily, we don't have to rely on them for air else we would have all asphyxiated by now.

Please refrain from providing creative suggestions enhancing Government power and control...

thank you....

We're back to daily power outages again now with all this wind playing havoc with their ancient cables.

For the first time in about half a year, it has stopped raining and I can charge the solar batteries again!

[buksida]

We've just been notified that the power will be out between 08.30 and 15.00 on Jan. 20.

[Big Boy]

Will that be an improvement?

[buksida]

It hasn't actually been that bad so far this year.

The power is constantly browning out and spiking throughout the day - but we haven't had many of those 2 hour outages for a while.

[buksida]

Must be coming into power cut season, had 3 in the past 5 days.

[Big Boy]

I don't suppose the early rain has helped.

[buksida]

Just as well we kept some of that ... the water is off today.

[buksida]

Think we broke the record today - 3 power outages in less than 24 hours, one in the middle of the night.

[buksida]

Must be power cut season, two days in a row, two outages, same transformer exploding.

[Big Boy]

It's now 5 months since your last reported power outage. Does that mean the last transformer fix resolved the problem, or you just got fed up with reporting constant outages. You've certainly been getting the weather synonymous with power outages.

[buksida]

No, the thing explodes at least once a week, just got tired of posting about it.

Additionally, the constant rain has rendered any solar power backups useless, we cant charge the batteries.

Big winds playing havoc with the creaky cables strung up around here - power and internet off daily now.
