      One company who is currently practicing power shutoffs, which was the question.

      Also, they made this choice after several big fires started from their infrastructure- while they were on some sort of corporate probation for exploding a neighborhood because of… faulty and under maintaining infrastructure. Not exactly a one off.

        No, the question was “is this something normally done?” clearly the answer is no, since only 1 company is doing it.

        I would expect the answer to be “get your shit together”, not “okay, provide even worse service”. I’m living in rural Germany with a lot of unburied 10kV lines between villages, never heard of one of them starting a fire.
