Staten Island suffers power outage after fire at Con Ed substation
I’m on the east shore and I just measured the Con Ed voltage as 108.6vac right now, that’s a 9.5% reduction from the normal 120vac. That’s quite a reduction.
Con Edison blames equipment failure for Manhattan blackout
OMG Trilby16, my wife says the same thing.
Con Ed is always surprised when people use their A/C in the summer, like they don’t know it gets hot. They are not too big to fail and by failing us, I hope Cuomo does take action. My rates are insane (especially with Mom using 24/7 oxygen) and if her O2 goes out….LAWSUIT!!!

If a manhole explosion occurred back in May on the same street as this relay protection system fault (64th Street and West End Avenue), Con Ed should have kept an eye on this particular location even more closely.
New Yorkers can expect more power outages this summer, says Con Ed
Con Ed is an energy delivery service. They don’t actually generate power. If there is not enough power available to power everyone’s AC then there are going to be blackouts. It’s simple.

Why is Con Ed always surprised when it gets hot in the summer & people use their A/Cs? Isn’t that their fucking job, to provide electricity?? My Mom is on oxygen 24/7, has a battery back up that lasts 3-4 hours…..CON ED BETTERGETTHEIRACTTOGETHER.
