These strains on the power grid actually cause shifts in the alternating current frequency. The power grid operates at a precise frequency (e.g., 60 Hz in North America). A deviation can be damaging to equipment like TVs, stereos, microwaves, stove electronics, dishwasher electronics, and life support equipment. Where I live, we have power outages due to power lines getting broken by tree fall. Many times we have had to replace TVs and kitchen appliances after those events.
Yes! What is “2 GW per year” supposed to mean?
