Will Earth hour do damage to power supply system?

Does Earth Hour cause damage to power stations with everyone turning things off and on at about the same time?

  • Answer:

    What's "Earth Hour" - is it a popular TV programme? This is an international forum so we don't all know these things! If so the associated sudden loads can cause problems but only if they're really big and unexpected. Utilities will normally anticipate them and have generation capacity on standby (spinning reserve) to take the bumps. If they don't, then the frequency can drop which would lead to load reduction and possibly even load shedding. Protection equipment will prevent any damage to the utility's plant.
