I agree with Keith R.

As I remember:
The supplied electric 10 years ago was off mare then on. 5 years ago on more then off about 8 hours per day. This slowly became better with an almost 24/7 service from Dec.1/06 to Feb 1/08.
Now we seem bo be going back to 1998. Starting at the first of this year, power out for short periods of time. The outages slowly increased to being our from 5 to 14 hours daily for the last few weeks. I do not know how large an area this effects.
The Edenort site does not havemy area listed for planned outage. I do see that they have rolling blackouts for 3 hours in most of the North area.

As for the "free electricity" problem? This is nothing new and bas been debated on DR1 for years. The power suppliers and distributors know the problems but are at a loss on how to solve this very complex problem. I DO think that it will get worse ans the cost of living and oil increases. Especially after the elections.
