While I understand that nobody like downtime but I also hope that everyone can understand that we are operating in a region that is not quite your first-world urban homes.

And accidents happen.

This is an road that I travel very often as it connects two of our farms. And one day it is like this.



And we have to travel like this.







The point that I post these is that if some equipment at the hydropower station fails, it typically takes one day to get a qualified engineer from the closest town to identify the problem, and another day to obtain the necessary parts to replace the broken ones.

If a landslide like this takes place, the Internet cable may be broke too.

...

But with honestly, I believe 95% uptime can be realistically achieved given the current condition - note that even 5% downtime translates to 18.25 days per year.
