I feel for you and we are all in the dang! The powerstations are old and they were not designed for regular switch offs, so every time that they are switched on again there is a risk of something popping out. Same thing with the substations and every now and then, a transformer simply explodes.
Then again with all of the cable thefts life is not easy for anyone and I feel that we are on a way road to who knows.
