Lots of short power cuts in central Alberta over the last two days!

We have been having lots of power cuts.

All just a few minutes long. It started yesterday and has been happening today too.

This has never happened before. The weather isn't bad either so I have no idea what could cause this.

I'm wondering if this is a cyber attack or is this a warning that this will become normal in the coming days and weeks.

Anyone else having these issues?

Cycling the main grid switches in preparation for "False blackout"? Best guess.

Strange.

Keep a record, and everyone needs to report them immediately. I don't know how it is everywhere, but in some places the less reliable the power is, the more fines the power company incurs.

The record will also show a pattern, if any, which may be useful in any fight that you might be inclined to take advantage of.
