CFE notice for October 5th in Riberas

ferret wrote:CFE crews came and shut off the power AGAIN... yes, on a Sunday. It went off some time after I left the house at 9:45 a.m. I got home at noon. No notice, no nothing. It took them from 5 pm to 5:45 pm to get it going again. On, off, on, off, on, off. WTF? I already detest Telmex here and CFE is right up there with them. That's six times in the last 6 weeks. I'm pissed and starting to have no confidence in either utility.
BTW, the bidirectional meter goes down on my solar installation too. So, I'm not only feeling very inconvenienced, I feel like I've been robbed.

Did your electricity go down Thursday? No notice this time but it went off at 9:15 AM until after 5:00 PM. When I got home it looked like they butchered a bunch of trees to remove branches from the lines on San Luis so I assume that was the reason.

No, I was spared on Thursday. Today, they were stringing new line along San Mateo so it had to have been planned. Within the time frame of the last six weeks, I have lost a Telmex modem, a telephone and a vonage modem and a pressurizing pump. The first two were plugged into surge protectors and the third was just grounded. I came home with groceries today. I would not have gone shopping if I'd known.
I am going to purchase another voltage regulator (I have two others in use). I usually plug the voltage regulator into a grounded outlet first and then plug the surge protector into that and then my stuff into the surge protector. I would say that I practice safe electricity.
And I know that thing's happen such as transformers blowing, wind, rain, whatever which neither I nor CFE can control. But stringing lines, trimming trees? That takes planning and I am simply overwhelmed with the lack of consideration.

Exactly. Had there been any organization at all, they could have trimmed the trees on the same day they had the planned outage. Actually 2 planned outages plus your outage you didn’t know about until it happened Sunday. Glad I missed that one.
