Thunderstorm created a mini blackout. Only about 2 seconds but cut the internet, interrupting my partner's class she teaches. Are blackouts, even very short ones, more frequent than in past decades? They seem to be, albeit shorter than the old and infrequent ones. Is there a reason?

Baltic states switch to EU power grid, ending Russia ties.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have said they had successfully synchronised their electricity systems to the European continental power grid, a day after severing decades-old energy ties to Russia and Belarus.
Baltic states switch off Russian power feed.
Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia have disconnected from Russia's power grid, which is a move that leaders say will save them from "geopolitical blackmail".
#GreatBritain’s #energy #grid operator closes connection queue | EnergyIndustry | The Guardian
One of the downsides of having so many #RenewableEnergy projects is that they have to be queued to be connected to the #ElectricityGrid. This repriororitzation pause could help in managing that queue.

Texas' energy grid is becoming more reliable now — three years after millions of Texans lost power during a deadly winter storm. But energy experts say the grid still faces challenges as providers transition to clean energy sources.

China to invest $800B in creaking #ElectricityGrid to speed up green transition
"#China has already expanded its grid enormously — it has the world’s highest proportion of power lines under 10 years old, and accounts for more than a third of the world’s grid expansion in the last decade — but its generation capacity and demand, notably for data centers, electric vehicles, and AI, have all gone up even faster."
How a simple fix could double the size of the #US #electricitygrid
"There is one big thing holding the #UnitedStates back from a pollution-free #electricity grid running on #wind, #solar and battery power," writes the Washington Post. "Not enough #powerlines... the nation's sagging, out-of-date power lines are being overwhelmed — slowing the transition to clean energy and the fight against #climatechange."

How a simple fix could double the size of the U.S. #ElectricityGrid
"Carbon-fiber wires don’t sag as much in the heat. That means that they can take up to double the amount of power as the old lines.
It could also cost half as much as building an entirely new line and avoid the headaches of trying to get every state, city and even landowner along the route to agree to a new project."
