News reports are calling it “the perfect storm”, or, perhaps more unsettling, “the monster storm”. Hurricane Sandy rolled into New England last night, bringing with it large amounts of rain and strong, hurricane-force winds. With storms of this magnitude, damage isn’t just likely. It’s expected. And power outages for residential and business electricity customers alike are unavoidable.
Those in the path of the storm have stocked up on everything from water to duct tape. Now there is little to do but wait it out and hope the damage and loss of life is minimal. The Live Energy team would like it add its voice to all those expressing concern and well wishes for the people in the storm’s path.
Natural events—tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and the like—remind us of the uncertainty of the future. Who could have predicted, a month ago, that a late-season hurricane would roll into New England? Even as the storm makes its way inland, only time will tell how much damage it will cause. Even the immediate future is unknown.
As the storm winds howl, it’s doubtful many of the people taking shelter are overly concerned about their business electricity contracts. However, when the rain moves on, as damage is assessed and repairs undertaken, energy will certainly play a pivotal role. One of the first priorities will be restoring residential and commercial electricity.
When the weather is good and the market is stable (or, at least seems stable), it’s easy to be complacent about your business electricity arrangements. After all, the power is on and you have more important things on your plate. You have a business to run. Maybe you could trim some of your energy costs, but you simply don’t have the time to invest in researching it. And besides, why fix what isn’t broken?
But when storms hit, both metaphorical and sometimes literal, your business electricity account can quickly become a high priority. It is far better to be prepared for those moments in life and business than to find yourself scrambling in the midst of the chaos.
