Any potential blackouts in this area would be controlled by the Mid-continent Independent System Operator, or MISO. MISO operates the power grid for 15 states.
Duke Energy spokesperson McKenzie Barbknecht says if MISO decides a blackout is necessary, Duke Energy will work to keep the impact isolated.
"In an instance like that, we would work to make sure power outages were as limited in duration as possible,” Barbknecht said. “We would also take steps again to ensure that critical care facilities like hospitals, like water pumping stations aren't affected."
None if you unhook from the grid.Out of 2160 watts I only have 560 going to the grid. The rest go to batteries. I wonder how much they will try to take.
Wisconsin electric, around the Point Beach Nuclear station had people put boxes on the hot water heaters. If there was a short term peak load, they dropped out your water heater. It worked pretty good, being as you still had 40 gallons of usable hot water.Anyone with the extra box on their ac or power company provided smart thermostat is probably front of the line*
