I explained that we don't have access to the locked cupboard, and they said that we need to speak to the concierge, or to a neighbour.
I have no idea where the real accountability lies here.
However given the low wattage to the apartments with the supply going off regularly, I think we'll need our own key to the cupboard at some point - it seems odd that the energy company would have to come out to the building every time we run too many appliances at the same time.

Submitted by piechart on Mon, 03/09/2020 - 19:54Most of the meter boxes near where I live have two different keys, either of which will open the box. One is normally left with the owner, the other is for universal access by the electricity company. If you can’t get the former, it may be worth seeing if the electricity company could help.
After a short while you should find you adapt to the limited power and rarely, if at all, trip the meter. You do have to learn the power draw of major appliances but it becomes second nature to avoid switching on the washing machine if the oven is on, etc.
