Sounds like a plan ?

The most liveable city LOL

Thanks to LilyDAmbrosioMP and labor welcome to the third world Victoria

What criteria is used to determine which areas are to be the subject of these deliberate power cuts

So why are we being lied to I.e. unplanned outages?.....why is our country going backwards?

Blackouts is uncooth and some moron will call it racist.

The polite, PC term is “power shedding”.

When it becomes 35 degrees inside the apartment, no power, not a breath air, its not difficult to blackout after a couple of hours. 😓

i this day and age? in supposedly a top city?.

wow...same as road infrastructure.....just scrapin by

Where is all this reliable coal fired generation. O sorry it must be climate change again more dead fish o no that’s the drought but what causing the drought must be climate change.circler argument

Show some personal resilience.. We as a race should be able to cope with couple of hours without power once or twice a year. Or not complain about power bills when we need $millions of equipment on standby for the couple of days a year when we are short a bit of power.

Turns out coal isn't as reliable as advertised by Coalition

What a mess.

Thank the Greens and their virtue signalling no coal but mass population advocating tool bag supporters.

Not much fun if you’re one only the 130k.

Geeez, who would of thought?

Coal just isn't reliable

Two hot days and this is what paying customers have to face. Provide a discount then!

blackouts would be good It is going to be a show piece of Libs incompetence A decade of energy paralysis is coming home to roost They r still brawling RET NEG were dumped because of infighting

Hazelwood hmmm nice move DanielAndrewsMP

what a disgrace

Which LilyDAmbrosioMP said wouldn't happen, the wind towers were meant to save us, but 100,000 are without power..springst

Power regulators take action to limit risk of blackouts in Victoria and SAThe Australian Energy Market Operator forecasts a potential supply shortfall for Victoria and South Australia as scorching temperatures place extra strain on the system. If we had a Carbon tax on the rich, to distribute to the poor, none of this would be necessary. mjrowland68 LisaMillar At 7 am, Victoria brown coal still running at 500 MW less than earlier in the month.

Energy operator calling on business to cut power to avoid blackoutsThe energy market operator will ask big businesses to power down to help Victoria and South Australia avoid potential blackouts. Wouldnt happen with Nuclear. We are missing out. In South Australia even the diesel generators are working hard. No sign of the big battery. Why isn't it working? Windmills and solar not doing much. LilyDAmbrosioMP All the while you and your Government tweet out new wind farms in the never never....that will produce only more expensive and unreliable power while your policies today could force the few businesses left in Victoria to close. Audacious.
