Every month is not normal at all. You should check with Enedis.

I live in France and my power cuts are less than 10 in +20 years.

Had +5 years of uninterrupted power at my previous place and at the current flat I live, it's currently at +1,5 years.




Conversely, I live in SoCal and every month is very normal.


The only power outages I have here in Socal have been scheduled, and they replaced several poles and cabling. Out for like 8 hours.


Maybe they happen when I didn't notice them but in 15 years of living in Austria & then Germany I think the number of power-cuts I experienced would be countable on the fingers of one hand.


Yeah that doesn't sound right at all. I live in UK, we have maybe 1-2 power cuts a year max. And I have equipment running 24/7 so I'm sure I'd know.
