Outdated transformers along our mini grid

Our residential power was out for 68 hours (4/6 at 10:30 pm to 4/9 at 6:30 pm) with almost no notification of status, despite multiple requests to Excel customer service. One transformer along our grid was replaced on 4/11; however, the whole gird system requires updating.

In addition, a resident in our neighborhood is reported to be drawing inordinately on the system due to a crypto currency operation. Should that draw be moderated or eliminated by some standard of use for a residential neighborhood?

While I do not know for sure, I expect Xcel knew there was a high potential they were going to shut down power days before they did. For them to not…

The Outage was the Problem, not the Communication

My power was cut anyway. Meanwhile, the lights were blazing merrily the whole time at two large residential complexes near me.Xcel might argue that somehow my power lines and…
