Ontario Brownout
The Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) was forced to decrease the voltage supplied to users by 5 percent yesterday, creating a rare brownout. It lasted until 8pm last night and was blamed on lack of generation. Four generating units (totaling 3,000MW) were unavailable due to repair or maintenance.
Jeez! I hope people aren't planning maintenance shutdowns for the first week in August. If so, they should fire someone.
