City of Grand Haven, MI
City of Grand Haven's outage record

Outage length, and what it means for a generator
A single outage here averages 2 hours. That is squarely in battery-power-station range; a fuel generator is overkill for most of these. Why outage length, not count, picks the backup: how often vs how long.
