Great Scott! We care about electrical power Once upon a time when controlling a 1MW battery we joked about managing 1.21 GW (equivalent to 600k homes!) This week we flew past that milestone (at 88 mph, clearly 😀) #backtothefuture @DocBrownLloyd

Powercuts being reported across the country after a significant generation outage on the UK power network this afternoon caused a major frequency drop. Our assets responded within a second to bring frequency back up and restabilise the grid #powercut

@SquashedBox @CleanAirLondon @TimFilbert is right, it's the other way around. There was a lack of generation on the grid to support the load at the time. That causes the frequency to dip and that causes powercuts.
