Another event in Ohio that was blamed on a “storm” left some 200,000 homes and businesses without power. The grid operator there said it had to intentionally shut down power in some areas to prevent remaining lines from becoming overloaded.
That's because AEP does all the maintenance of NO and shit's a mess. They got busted about 10 years ago for not doing any maintenance, and all of a sudden started doing it. Things were great, outages were at a minimum. After a few years they stopped, and things went right back to the sorry state they were in. Turning off bulk generation doesn't help, either. Conesville Station recently went offline, that was 2GW at it's peak.
