And some of the coal power plants were offline too, so anyone saying "good old reliable coal", well, it is not lol
Really looking forward to seeing more microgrid stuff maybe with batteries to stabilise the grid too
I think we're going to see a lot more done on the demand management side, too.
As we get more electric cars on the grid, that's a ton of demand that you can just turn off for a while and nobody would notice or care.
Absolutely..
Actually, my friends power AND Gas is offline still at the moment.. Which goes to show that Electric really is the way forward regardless,
