YOu need to find it from your bill or look for the area you live in. You can pull up the whole list and scan thru it for your area. But be careful because zones can end in the middle of a block! Once you find your circuit note the number and you can go right to it weekly to find out the schedule. My experience before we went 24/7 was it went out before and came back after the schedule said. It is a guide nothing more. ON the stats page you can see how much your circuit consumed, how much was billed and how much was actually paid for! Fascinating.

Here is Santiago, Los Jardines is one of the better circuits. Most is remote metered to avoid fraud, and outages are usually to do maintenance or to allow more business establishments to hook into the power grid. Usually a few hours, maybe once a week. Anything else is an accident.

That said, it is expensive at something approaching 30? a kw/h, especially when you know there are 1.2 million using electricity and not paying a penny...
