In my mailbox today I found a planned outage notification from Portland General electric Customer Relations. Sunday February 17th - Monday February 18th power will be interrupted for up to 5 hours between 11pm and 5 am. Said to affect customers on or near 23rd Ave and NW Glisan St. Now for most people having no power late at night/early morning and on a holiday weekend (President's Day) wont be an issue. I'm sure many will be sleeping in anyways. However I'll be incredibly inconvenienced seeing as how my alarm clock is set to go off at 2:45 am on Monday mornings. Guess I'll get ready for work by candlelight... thanks PGE.

Did they give any reason as to why they need to cause the intentional outage? Sorry Casino!!

I'd take a good guesstimate that if it's planned and announced like that it's probably meaning their upgrading/repla  cing equipment that is typically always on.

they did give a reason, they will be working on overhead lines to increase line capacity and improve service reliability in the neighborhood. It makes sense, I'm just annoyed.
