On 30 July, the worst blackout in a decade left an estimated 400 million
people in northern India (about one-third of the nation’s population)
without power. At 2:35 a.m. local time, the country’s northern grid
failed catastrophically. By 7 p.m. that evening, roughly 80 percent of
the more than 8000 megawatts of electrical capacity that had been
unavailable was restored, leading power officials to predict that
service on the northern grid would soon return to normal. But the energy
crisis actually got worse on Tuesday: The northern, eastern, and
northeastern grids failed just after 1 p.m. local time, leaving 600
million people without power. | | http://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/energy/the-smarter-grid/disappointing-monsoon-season-wreaks-havoc-with-indias-grid/?utm_source=energywise&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=080112
