Based on the fact that Berlin is planning for 2-3 hour* organized blackouts, I don't think they have enough electricity.
EDIT: Not 2 to 3 blackouts, 2 to 3 hour blackouts. When grid is overstressed.
- V__ 4y agoI would hope they are planning for the worst-case. I want the government to have contingency plans. Doesn't mean it will happen.
- evilos 4y agoThat's the amazing thing. They are not. Most likely it will be far worse than they are imagining. I hope I am wrong.
- V__ 4y agoI don't know about any evidence to support this claim. By law, industry will be shut down before any private home is affected. About 40% of gas and electricity is respectively used in industries. That means there is a lot of reserve before any home gets a blackout. Short term rolling blackout maybe, anything longer highly unlikely. EDIT: Just saw the edit. Yeah, that doesn't seem like a big deal to me. In 2019 after a damaged cable, there was a 31-hour blackout in some parts of Berlin. In comparison a 2 to 3 hour one happens all the time during storms etc.
