Coming from England, it was a bit of a surprise to be experiencing so many power outages. Back in the 80s and early 90s the UK still had them, but most power lines were moved underground out of the weather by the mid to late 90s and power cuts became rare and were quickly sorted When they did occur. When we first came to Australia we experienced forced outages during heatwaves in order to decrease the load and stop sub-stations going down.

Admittedly, South Australia is a bit behind much of the rest of Australia. We're a bit of a country state.
