Power shortages

Why do they announce power shortages on tv?

Answer #1

even though the people experiancing the ‘black out’ haven’t got tv, if I knew my mum was affected I’d go round there with a flask of tea…(how very british lol!)

Answer #2

So everyone can conserve by waiting until later to start up the washer and dryer. The sales of power (electricity) is a weird business, higher demands = lower profits for utilities so they want us to conserve during times of high demand, like heat waves when everyone cranks up the air conditioner.

Answer #3

um, because most of them are government planned and others are planned by the actual companies.

Answer #4

Because I need to know when somebody else loses power!
