California: Rotating outages - Outages are preventable, if we all conserve https://www.pge.com/en/outages-and-safety/outage-preparedness-and-support/understanding-electric-outages/rotating-outages.html HECO institutes rolling outages on Oahu, plunging communities into darkness HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaiian Electric instituted rolling outages on Oahu on Monday night amid power generation issues, plunging entire communities into darkness for 30-minute periods. HECO said the outages were needed to avoid larger problems. https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/01/09/heco-rolling-power-outages-possible-across-oahu-due-shortage-reserve-generation-capacity/ Albertans Asked to Conserve Power to Minimize Potential for Rotating Outages https://financialpost.com/globe-newswire/albertans-asked-to-conserve-power-to-minimize-potential-for-rotating-outages Rolling Blackout A rolling blackout, also referred to as rota or rotational load shedding, rota disconnection, feeder rotation, or a rotating outage, is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown in which electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system. Rolling blackouts are a measure of demand response if the demand for electricity exceeds the power supply capability of the network. Rolling blackouts may be localised to a specific part of the electricity network, or they may be more widespread and affect entire countries and continents. Rolling blackouts generally result from two causes: insufficient generation capacity or inadequate transmission infrastructure to deliver power to where it is needed. In developing countries Rolling blackouts are a common or even a normal daily event in many developing countries where electricity generation capacity is underfunded or infrastructure is poorly managed. In well managed under-capacity systems blackouts are planned and schedules are published in advance to allow people to work around them. In poorly managed systems they happen without warning, typically whenever the transmission frequency falls below the 'safe' limit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_blackout
