Sounds like the "teething" challenges continue with the 787. I am sure Boeing would rather not have these issues with Qatar and Al Baker who gets rightfully VOCAL about the delays, etc. Overlooking these recent electrical issues, it looks like Al Baker is happy with the aircraft and he plans a lot of expansion with the aircraft:

Al Baker 'very disappointed' after latest 787 grounded by electrical issue
One interesting paragraph from the article in the link above:
Qatar is due to receive five more 787s during 2013 and will gradually introduce the type across its network as the fleet expands. The aircraft is now operating daily flights to Heathrow and its next destination will be Perth.
Other early European 787 destinations will be Frankfurt and Munich. 787 Flights to Tokyo Haneda and Osaka in Japan as well as to the USA are also planned, says Al Baker.
