> A giant outage in Latvia on June ninth concentrated minds

"Giant" per what definition? It happened because of damaged isolation for 330kV line and automatics just shut it off. It also brought overflow within 110kV line affecting 160k people in capital and around it.

Communications was affected (apparantly they didnt test their energy backup systems), traffic, homes. Diesel generators were put to work where needed. Our datacenter was up and running, being backed up by other electricity lines and diesel.

Yeah, a MAJOR outage, but in LESS than 2 hours everything was restored.

Nothing to do with frequency. Why even mention it and try to associate with Russia?
