Dressed up as a “power surge”. Or, it’s a power surge.

Very rare to have such a wide impacting outage, I'm blaming the North Koreans they're better at hacking than the Russians

I'm thinking China- haven't they been involved in power infrastructure development for a while. It would be natural for them to want to make sure the "off" switch works as planned.

It wasn't a surge, it was an outage - there was a sudden drop in power because two big generators went offline, which meant the frequency on the grid dropped sharply.

Yes - because of the increased renewables we now we have a highly responsive grid with lots of backup, which meant that power was restored pretty quickly. If we were still stuck with lots of large, unresponsive generators it could have taken a lot longer to get it sorted out.

Any idea what fell over?

Ofge nm never did understand that marginal pricing doesn't work when generating units trip out.

Apparently Little Barford power station and an offshore wind substation both tripped at almost the same time. Saw a report on Twitter that this took around 1GW of power off the grid (demand at the time was around 30GW).
