I really would have thought Portland would have had some back up generation system, if only to produce enough power to keep the pot line from cooling. I had a mate who worked at Bouganville (not sure how it is spelt) when they had the riots and shut the power or gas to the mine and the liquid copper line which ran for miles, solidified and it was all over and I can't recall the mine ever working again
