No idea if anybody from the energy industry browses HN, but:

Looking at https://gridwatch.co.uk/ there was:

- No reduction in demand

- No reduction in generation/increase in exporting

- No increase in frequency

How can there be a massive powercut but no changes in any of the above? Where does the power go?
