The extensive disruption follows the narrow avoidance of widespread blackouts in South Australia in July. At that time, the state government brought pressure to bear on a local power company for an idled power station to be restarted to avoid potential disruptions, following a lack of electricity generated from wind and solar sources at a time when it was unable to “import” sufficient supply I could see same problem popping up in Germany at any time soon. All the wind and windmills up North with no real electric-power 'Autobahn' connecting to the South, where the nuclear plants and coal fired are to be closed down, great deal! What's more, many of those off-shore windmills up North are still waiting for connections to the land grid!
