Rolling Blackouts?

I’ve seen first hand some of these neighborhoods that were thrown up in the late 90s/early 2000s in Desoto county. They did a really ****** job insulating them.

Just got a call from my wife saying the power is out at home. A minute later got a text from TVA saying they are implementing, for the first time, Step 50 of their emergency load curtailment plan and that power will be off for 30 minutes. I guess this is the new normal?

I forgot to mention we live just east of Starkville.

Probably OM grads messing with Starkville. Same ones who built 4-lane roads to nowhere.

Again.... you will use the same amount per hour if it never shuts down. All the while, TVA systems (nuke, coal, natural gas, solar/wind) are producing electricity every minute of every hour.

understand yet?

While an individual’s power usage might hit a limit, you have to consider the impact of everyone’s heating systems not cycling off as often. That makes the average power demand across the system increase, taxing the grid.
