My question now is how? I would have assumed an organization like Duquesne wouldnt be experiencing such issues.

Lol Duquesne Light sucks. A couple years ago I lost power for 3 days in 100 degree weather. That was fun.

I live in Regent Sq past 7 years and we have outages at least once a year.

It’s windy as shit. I’m guessing a tree came down on it.

Shits old, and the temperature swings probably mean a different load on the grid as people run other appliances. Also with multiple it was probably a chain reaction to some extent.

I don't think they have any way to monitor transformers remotely, which I guess could be the way to be preventative vs. reactive but that costs money and most companies are allergic to spending.

This speculation brought to you by someone who is totally unqualified but taking an educated guess.
