BrightSpark Energy Company Electric Avenue Downtown 16th April 2021 Dear Resident, This is a notification to inform you of our intent to disconnect the electricity supply in your area for upcoming essential repair operations. Following recent surges in the regional grid, we have been left with no choice but to accelerate our plans to upgrade an already overworked energy network, with a view to providing you, our valued customers, with the best possible service. It is unfortunate that we will have to temporarily halt the supply of electricity to your area for two hours per day, for three consecutive days beginning tomorrow (April 17) but rest assured that this will be done during off-peak (overnight) hours, and that all of our customers will be compensated with a 10% discount applied to their next energy bill. We trust that this will go some way to alleviating the difficulties this short outage might create. Notwithstanding potential delays or extensions to the planned repair works, we endeavour to ensure that the repair work proceeds with the least amount of inconvenience caused to our customers, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to improve our services and adapt to an ever-expanding network and an increasing reliance on our energy supply for your everyday needs. Thank you in advance for your understanding, and thank you for being a valued customer of BrightSpark, where ideas come to life. The Manager BrightSpark Energy |
