    This is why it’s important to operate with enough available reserves (fast and slow) to cover the unexpected loss of your biggest generator, transformer, and/or transmission line.

    Their black start procedures are going to be getting a good workout; I hope they’re well tested.

    I have to agree with the sentiment expressed by the social media posts shown in the article. If your country’s electricity infrastructure is so fragile that a monkey could take it offline then it’s probably time to take a hard look at investing in improving its resilience.
