Bonnie Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Anyone besides me without electricity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Bonnie, of course we have electricity here in El Santuario. However, it is not as a result of Gas Natural Fenosa. We are on our generator. These outages continue to be an almost daily occurrence for us here at the end of their line. Ugh! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Union Fenosa is like other unscrupulous regulated utilities then get used to the outages until President Varela allows the rate hikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. I'm not defending the supplier but the assumption is flawed. Edited August 18, 2018 by Keith Woolford 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked as an electrical engineer in many countries and I'm in fact retired from a regulated utility. I'm not familiar with the service levels that Union Fenosa has guaranteed Panama but if they're anything like what's mainstream throughout the world then Union Fenosa possesses the ability to deliver A+ to C- level of service without violating their contract so it is plausible.

Keith Woolford Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The issue dealing with the proposed rate increase to pay for costs generated by delays in construction of the third transmission line was resolved. It had nothing to do with Gas Natural Fenosa and everything to do with ETESA, the 100% state-owned electrical distribution company. Union Fenosa hasn't existed for about ten years. Where you been? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Keith, I live in a Panamanian neighborhood and that's how everyone here refers to the electric company. Just like when us gringos say "Is your power out?" or "Is your electricity out?" here they say "Tienes luz?" I'm giving you an up vote for catching that!

Keith Woolford Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 We also live in a Panamanian neighbourhood but that hasn't stopped me from reading the name on the factura. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
