• holding that three-year statute of limitations on claims by customer against utility for breach of contractual obligation to supply electricity began running anew after each power outage rather than accruing immediately after initial breach
• stating that defendant had a continuing obligation to supply electrical power to plaintiff, and with each failure, a separate cause of action arose; however, plaintiff could only maintain an action and recover for breaches which occurred within the statute of limitations period
• allowing a claim for damages based on interruption in electricity supply that occurred less than three years previously
• “[A]ny damage claims resulting from breaches which occurred within the limitations period [a]re not time-barred.”
• “where a contract provides for continuing performance over a period of time, each successive breach of that obligation begins the running of the statute of limitations anew”
