Well, its about all solar pannels producing energy in one second, and none in the next. And when the overall netload is lower, its easier to balance out these peaks.
For a region that clouds over and rains quite often, you’d think the grid could handle an hour without sunshine during an eclipse. What do they do every night when the sun goes down? Does everyone across the UK just turn everything off? 😂
