That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Similar mismatches in supply and demand contributed to massive cascading blackouts in August 2003 in the northeastern United States and Canada, in July 2012 in India , and in March 2019 in Venezuela. unprecedented and deadly winter freeze. We think there’s a better way.
