Now to start with, ECG attributes the outages in rising transformer failures, but isn't this ultimately a planning and maintenance issue rather than an unexpected technical problem? What does this say about asset management within the system?
B
45:06Benjamin SiamaGUEST
What it simply says is that ECG over the years has poorly managed its assets.
