Dazhou issued a rolling power cut notice: within 3 hours! How to limit electricity without causing complaints?

Dazhou, Sichuan, restricts residents' electricity consumption for less than 3 hours. Power rationing can easily cause people's dissatisfaction, but due to the extreme high temperature weather with long duration and wide influence, the local power load has been greatly increased, so we have to come up with such a solution. Shortening the power cut will not cause people to complain, and the power cut time should also be chosen when people don't use electricity. As long as the machine doesn't work after the power failure, it can be quickly controlled.

1. The relevant departments should actively collect people's opinions, comprehensively consider the actual demand, and then introduce a power restriction policy, so as not to cause complaints.

The relevant departments should actually understand the electricity demand of residents in the early stage, and if most residents will not use electricity during this time period, then restrictions can be imposed. However, I believe many residents will not be willing if the power cut is suddenly announced instead of soliciting people's opinions. This is also the embodiment that the relevant departments do not respect the opinions of residents. Therefore, it is necessary to consult with the people and local enterprises to get everyone's understanding before doing the next work.

2. The relevant departments should also do a good job as commanders-in-chief, and take measures to deal with the power cut, so as to avoid causing complaints to a greater extent.

The relevant departments should publish the power crisis on social media platforms, and publish the reasons and policies for the power cut, so that residents can better understand it. In particular, it is necessary to mobilize local village cadres, make them have a sense of crisis, let them do the commander-in-chief work that leaders should do, and appease the villagers' emotions. Measures to deal with power failure after power rationing can be introduced.

3. Remind residents to have a sense of crisis, and make adequate preparations in advance so as not to make residents complain.

Give residents enough time to make preparations, and you should let them prepare enough materials to at least ensure that there is no problem with food, clothing, housing and transportation before you can limit electricity. We should remind them to the greatest extent what they should do if the power cut continues, and let them make the best plans, but make the best preparations, strengthen their sense of crisis, and strive to enable residents to cope as a whole.
