Hungarian Electric Companies seem to have a different view of the importance of their service than I do. A couple of weeks ago, the power was out for two whole days in the city that my office is in. This was planned and everyone knew about it. It wasn’t an emergency, just a scheduled outage. Therefore, all businesses, households, etc . . . were disabled for the entire day. I’m sure that American electric companies work for years and spend lots of money to put in parallel systems to avoid these type of planned outages because businesses wouldn’t stand for it.
This morning there is no power at my house and I called them and they said that it will be out until 4pm. It went out at 8am. Sounds like a work day to me. They had to do something and it was more important than my house having power.
