Well, that was the entire point of “smart” grids. And “smart” meters.
“You’re using too much electricity so we’re just going to help you adjust to lesser useage”.......and the lights and AC go out.
Yeah, come to think of it we did have a flicker last night. Since we have family in for the holidays, there may have been an over-usage of electricity due to all the laptops, ipad, ipad minis, cell phone chargers, playstations etc all being used at the same time. Not looking forward to the elec/gas bill for this month. Might have to get a pt job to pay it.
