I suspect it isn't as simple as Broadgage reports since the need for load shedding isn't just based on load / frequency issues. Transmission line outages can mean load shedding is needed when the generation is adequate.
I appreciate that the burden of load shedding may be spread unequally between DNOs, for sound operational reasons.
However WITHIN ANY DNO, what happens during the next low frequency event ? Will the SAME 5% of consumers be disconnected as last time ? or does some means exist to disconnect a DIFFERENT 5% next time ? (or such other percentage as may be required)
