Power outage update: we have requested a formal explanation from National Grid but they were not able to supply full power to our substation earlier. Since they were only able to provide half power, power was shut down until they were able to provide full power again. Once we have a formal explanation, I will share. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and support. - MMLD
