Every jurisdiction already has a less-specific and mandatory version of this. When demand exceeds supply, they just start disconnecting loads from the grid, perhaps randomly.
- throwawaysleep 4y agoYep. They just start rolling blackouts.
- butlerm 4y agoEvery jurisdiction also has some sort of plan to generate or acquire enough electricity so they do not have to engage in rolling blackouts under normal circumstances, and a hot afternoon during the summer certainly counts as normal. If there is ever a blackout someone has failed their job description.

As far as I know, they've never done this, but it's a tool they have and test: https://www.ieso.ca/en/Sector-Participants/IESO-News/2021/12/IESO-to-Conduct-Routine-Voltage-Reduction-Test-on-February-1 https://www.ieso.ca/en/Sector-Participants/IESO-News/2021/12...
