Now in my own case I'm somewhat peeved at my HA at denying me battery installation to keep my dialysis equipment running IF there is a power cut..
I was willing to pay for it myself and with solar powers it makes a lot of sense..

No, not at all, at least not in the way you're thinking. Power cuts can be more common in Winter months due to the weather, winds, heavy rain and also snow can all contribute to power cuts.

How do Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden survive without power cuts in winter?

They have more robust power networks..…

USA does not have a national grid, they have smaller seperate independent networks

I assume that this because of the distances involved and Canada will be the same

Russia does not have a national grid either.

We should be prepared for https://uk.news.yahoo.com/national-grid-russia-cyberattack-183650604.html

Is everyone prepared for an earthquake, as that is more likely than a power cut?! I am prepared, just in case…
