Electricity in Amazaing Thailand(Chiang Mai).

[sqwakvfr]

Currently it is the middle of winter in Amzaing Chiang Mai.  The temperature is about 20 C and the electricty just went out in my neighborhood (I live close to the Nimman area in CNX). First time that I can recall that electricity went out in early January.  I wonder how many air conditioners are on now?

There were 185,264 air conditioners on before the electricity went out.

 

Now there are 3 on, they have generators.

 

How long have you lived there?

7 years and first time electricity has gone out in January. Power outagse during the middle of summer have occurred and is understandable.

High demand is only one of the causes of power outages

I know that but since I have moved into this area electricity outages were a common thing in spring and summer.  Ranging from an hour to 4 hours. This is area is mixed use.  Anyway this time it was only 90 minutes.

I’ve experienced power outages a number of times in cm and the north, never once has it ever occurred to me to waste my time and go on the internet to make mention of it.

Lots of topics about stuff that it’s hard to imagine why it is coming up.

I have solar and batteries, the grid can go off as often as it likes.
