> the commercial sector is the first being it

That's not what they announced, the day before an area code will be revealed, and all electricity will be cut (including schools, public utility and telephone towers)

> That’s been illegal for more than a year

There is an exception if terrace area is "covered". Guess what everyone installed in the past year?



What they announced is in addition to what’s always done. The commercial sector has always been the first to be cut. Some companies actually have special contracts which mean they can be cut with barely any notice.

If they do large scale blackouts it’s that they can’t manage the load without cutting normal customers so obviously it’s going to hit everyone.
