Power shortage - Checked roads & capacity

I just started playing… and have logged ~5 hours.out of nowhere, I started having power shortages everywhere. I upgraded all my power generation and have a major capacity surplus (even for peak). 

I read that the roads might be a problem, so I demolished them, rebuilt, and ensured the power plants were connected. Same problem.

Then, I tried moving the residential buildings off the grid and back. Nope. 

Then, I tried moving the power plants closer to the residential buildings. Nada. 

I think I’m outta ideas and it just a bug. Shame. I enjoyed playing, but unless this is fixed soon, I think I’m going to abandon the game. 

Any other ideas?

    I tried deletion the app and reinstalling. It saved my city, but still has the power outages. 

    Anyone got any other ideas?

    Likewise. Power capacity is 300+, requirement is 250 but still getting power outage issues. 

    Population has started dropping. 

  • I'll give you an idea, quit now before they get you hooked on sending them money via debit/credit cards. 🤣 That's all they care about.
