It has gone the unpredictable path and I must say, I never saw this one coming. A city in this modern day without electricity can't actually be called a city. The liveliness of a city is really dependent on that especially for entrepreneurial activities that surround it.
This is what keeps industries running both big and small. Last year was the best year of general electricity in my environment and well, it seems major parts of the town experienced the same fate.
Advanced countries are talking of 24/7 steady supply while we who are claimed to be developing are still struggling to meet up. You can ask many questions in-between; what's really going on? At least we were revived by a huge margin last year.

I can talk of 18 to 20 hrs electricity supply minimum everyday. And well, it seemed electricity was appearing useless because we could do what we wanted when we wanted. I wasn't even requiring much of such supply last year as I am this year yet when I needed it more, game plan changed.
How do you go from 18 to 20 hrs minimum to 12hrs followed by 6 hrs and a later 4 hours and as we speak, in the last five days, we have hardly seen electricity supply lasting up to 2 hrs out of the 24 hours. You should understand how the situation report currently is.
Another thing to consider is, when is this supply even given? For the first time today, it has been supplied at night when business activities have closed. It has been same yesterday and some other days
It has really been a big disfavor to small scale entrepreneurs especially. I have seen my weekly expenses on energy increase drastically. Adding to that, it brings about job delays as we have to sort some things out manually just to save some cost.

More time, more human energy, more stress, more expenses and less profit. You can see how discouraging the chain can be.
To conclude, let me add, this is another back to the drawing board moment. One of those things I have tried to avoid is late night work in the office. Being a manager comes with strategic decisions, while also focusing on how to secure tangible profit for the company, your health is also a necessity The current situation is trying to drag me back into it and the solution here is for me to increase my daily expenses in the daytime just to save myself that night stretching.
