Why is there no surety bond covering this outage?
So glad Indianapolis Power and Light sold to AES.
Seems to me to be a claim should be made against the contractors, equipment providers, etc. Shouldn’t have this big of a failure so soon after construction. And, the utility should have insurance to cover such events.
Toshiba??? Hmmmm… How about Westinghouse or General Electric??
US company might be more helpful in these situations. As I recall Toshiba was selling confidential US military information to China 20 (+) years ago.
If a equipment breakdown happens to any other business that causes a loss of revenue, it’s on them. Whether or not there was a back up piece of equipment or a plan to cover any losses, the preparation for such should’ve been implemented long beforehand and piss poor planning is the fault of the business and the loss is their’s only.
AES should be no different!
AES claims that they were “not aware of the latent deficiencies in the system.” They real question is SHOULD they have been aware of these deficiencies? So in essence, they are being like a driver who was speeding and he tells the police officer, “I was not aware that the speed was only 35mph”. The officer would have said, “well pal, you should have been”.
AES SHOULD have climbed up into that cabinet to find the disconnected wire while they were troubleshooting the issue initially. They need to accept the responsibility rather than passing on their ignorance to the taxpayers.
AES knew of all the problems going on at the Martinsville Plant from day one and they always said the customer would pay for the repairs, this plant has been doomed from the start, AES should be one to pay not the 500.000 customers!
Who is running and managing the electric utility serving Indiana customers – AES or the customers buying power? Appears as if AES does not feel it is their responsibility to assume the risk of running a major Utility and to charge the customers for there ineffective and/or incomplete operational procedures that should be formally documented and tested pro-actively (at least that is what Utilities use to do when I worked with and provided consulting services to Utilities in the 1990’s). If it is true that AES is blaming the problem on a wire in a cabinet that requires a ladder is ridiculous and demonstrates AES does not have documented and pro-actively tested processes and procedures developed and certified to meet industry norms.
the cost of doing business.
AES is same crap company that wants all the easy pay from rate payers, but a break down happens and. . .its everybody else except them who pays. PAY UP or risk equipment losses, anybody can read AES. They programed new meters incorrectly and it cost most 50, 60 dollars back in February and March but deny because it paid for the new meters, this group is so dirty
