Helco was promising the different telescopes years ago that their operations will be able to run glitch-free. Guess I assumed that today's telescopes needed mass amounts of electricity to operate, including the TMT's. Since this article will shed light to how Helco has made previous promises to the existing telescopes. My guess, is that the TMT has been promised electricity priority by now TomK. jmo

Can enough back-up electricity be stored to operate the lasers of the TMT if the power goes out?
