Up until about 6 weeks ago I lived in an apartment where the power went off at 8.00 am and did not return until 2.00pm then off again at 3.00 and back again at 6.00 then off at 8.00pm and back at 10.00pm
most nights it went off again in the early morning while we were asleep.
this happened everyday and had been the case for at least 5 months before i arrived and is still the same now after I left. I was told by Edesur that they were punishing the barrio but could not find a away to keep the residences supplied while cutting the barrios.
Lame excuse as they have many options and can afford to reroute supplies if they wanted to. The sole purpose was to mae those that pay so fed up with those that dont they would turn them in.
As for invertors with that number and duration of blackouts they never recharge enough before the next blackout so were virtually useless.
Now I have moved I get 24/7 helps that I am now next door to the Kuwaiti ambassador I suppose......yet I still feel for those I left behind good people trying to get on and live their lives pay their way but still they are treated like dirt by Edesur.
Self sufficiency is the way to go here. Solar, wind and if possible geothermal.
