Key takeaways for Eastern Power
Where is it heading?

- Persistent authentication failures block account access, forcing users to abandon the digital channel for traditional payment methods.
- The lack of meaningful feature updates over the last four months signals a maintenance-only posture that fails to address critical stability regressions.

- Integration of real-time power outage notifications for specific consumer accounts
