Noted I have just been suspended from a pre90s navy crew forum for 24 hours[thumbsupbig] I tossed a Carlton and FC (Fire Control) joke in and the response of a 24hour suspension has me on the deck laughing and a few hundred shipmates thinking, incorrectly, World War Three just started[biggrin]

"The grid is congested, it's weighed down and it's not coping with the rapid change that's occurring across the energy system at the moment," added Mr Thornton.Dr Schott warned that the surge in renewables also posed a return threat to the grid and its ability to consistently keep the lights on.

When the grid trips over and we go down again (think SA) and for whatever reason they cant stabilise it again quick enough - the damage is done.
