AP News -- European clocks slowed / deviation from Europe's electricity grid's 50 Hz frequency March 7, 2018 European clocks slowed by lag in continent's power grid By The Associated Press BERLIN (AP) -- Millions of Europeans who arrived late to work or school have a good excuse an unprecedented slowing of the frequency of the continent's electricity grid. The Brussels-based European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, or ENTSO-E, said Wednesday the problem began mid-January and affects 25 countries, from Portugal to Poland and Greece to Germany. It says the deviation from Europe's standard 50 Hz frequency is caused by a loss of energy in the area of Kosovo and Serbia because of a political dispute between the two countries. Electric clocks keeping time by the power system's frequency, rather than built-in quartz crystals, have fallen behind by about 6 minutes. ENTSO-E said it's working on a technical solution that could bring the system back to normal within "a few weeks." Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. . .
