There is absolutely no possibility that the decision to black out a particular neighborhood was made based on the energy plans that individual houses were on. The fact some people on variable price plans had electricity is completely unrelated to that - their neighbours also would have had electricity.
- WalterBright 6y ago> absolutely no possibility They did have to decide which neighborhoods to cut. Wouldn't you cut first the neighborhoods that had fewer people on the variable plan?
- tedunangst 6y agoOr did they cut neighborhoods without hospitals first? Is it possible some customers with spot pricing plans lived in the same neighborhood as a hospital?
- WalterBright 6y agoThey didn't cut power to neighborhoods with a police/fire station (I have a friend in Texas who wondered why his power didn't get cut). I don't know about hospitals. But hospitals usually have their own emergency generators. BTW, the power to my house can be remotely and individually shut off any time the power company wants to (when they upgraded my meter). There's no reason this can't be used to shut off the fixed rate customers and leave the variable rate ones on.
