Greetings,
     
     Brief Background:  The printing equipment we build runs best when the 
     main power is left on 24 hours a day.  This is because when not in use 
     our printers run purging cycles every two hours and a lengthy cleaning 
     cycle once over night every night.
     
     Question:  At our company there have been various rumors and myths 
     circulating over the years that, especially in certain European 
     countries,  certain utilities, municipalities, or countries require by 
     law that all power be shut off when a commercial building is 
     unoccupied.  This would be most likely to happen over weekends or over 
     holidays.  Can anyone in this group confirm or deny this and, if true, 
     how pervasive it is.
     
     Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
