Experts say another big blackout this week unlikely
After last week's massive blackout and coverage of grid vulnerabilities, experts expect no repeat this week. Chemas Overbye of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Don Benjamin of NAERC say the system is monitored closely and nothing unusual is evident. Temperature and demand influence risk, with heat raising chances by burdening lines and potential overloads.
