FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, August 21, 2003 NPPD's Transmission System Reliable Columbus- ...When the blackout occurred in the Northeast, there was more electrical load lost than generation. The excess generation caused the rest of the systems in the Eastern Interconnected grid to experience high frequency. For instance, NPPD saw a frequency increase of .2 hertz. Protection systems in the area of the blackout isolated the disturbance from utilities in the rest of the eastern interconnection. The area that remained in service (i.e. NPPD's system) achieved a load and generation balance at a high frequency." ---Press Release, Nebraska Public Power District Nebraska Nuclear Highlights
