Electricity failures (power cuts in Dubai)

The Electricity supply in Dubai is very well organized. Even if there is a problem in power supply every now and then, they would efficiently solve the problem within minutes to ensure the citizens uninterrupted power supply.

There were only a couple of times that the power was cut longer than a hour or so, owing to some critical technical problems. As far as I remember, the biggest power cut took place was on June 9, 2005. It took them several hours to resolve the problem. Needless to say, people had to face a lot of problems. The other two major power cuts took place in 1999 (because of a major generator failure) and recently on April 28, 2008 in Al Safa area respectively, which were resolved in less than an hour.
