I rang Npower who told me that someone was looking into the problem. So far, so normal...
The power came back on 2 hours later (almost to the minute) and I thought nothing more of it. When I went into work on Monday I found out that ours was not the only region to have a cut and at least 4 other regions went down, all at differing times of day and none of them went down at the same time as another station.
This struck me as odd. I guess it's possible that a single failure put pressure on other stations which caused failures, but that wouldn't explain the powercuts happening at different times for different regions.
I wondered the following... is it possible that nPower simply didn't have enough energy to supply the city so shut down whole area's at a time to help keep up with the demand? What do you think, is this possible?
