Hundreds of happy people without power for almost three days after Tuesday's storm: 'We have called dozens of times. We are told that it is in the works or that there is no outage' / Company reaction

Residents in multiple areas of Bucharest, including ultra-central districts like Piața Romană, Primăverii, Dorobanți, and Dacia, have remained without electricity for nearly three days following severe storms and heavy rains on June 30. The power outages are attributed to flooded basements causing electrical installations to fail. Residents report that Rețele Electrice, the energy distribution company under PPC group, provides inconsistent information, with some claiming that the company does not recognize any issues in their area despite repeated calls and complaints. Some residents note discrepancies between the online outage map and their experiences, with some areas showing no problems while others remain dark. One resident, Dragoș O., states that despite promises of resolution by Thursday at 2 PM, there has been no progress, and the company now claims there is no issue on their street. As of Friday afternoon, numerous zones across the city still lack power.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the situation as a failure of Rețele Electrice, which is part of the PPC group—a private company with ties to the ruling PSD party.
