"dropping domestic consumers seems far more preferable than dropping hospitals and national infrastructure"
I suspect the grid management can't differentiate. Either a whole town goes or it doesn't.
I agree, under present the circumstances, the grid is either "on" or "off" over a considerable area, without any means to select consumers by priority or need.
Outside of THIS forum I have met far too many people who do not understand the need for rapid load and automatic load shedding covering wide areas.
"they should have given some warning" "cut of without consultation" and similar remarks.
I have even met persons whom seem to think that individual loads are under some sort of remote control "they would have to leave the heater in babies room on" and my favourite "they should not be allowed to turn of lifts in buildings with disable people"
