Final thoughts on this.

Installing medium sized bitcoin datacentres at generation stations could solve this. Any/All of the datacentres can be switched off in seconds and the power immediately made available.

It’s like an inverse peaker plant that earns money + stabilizes the grid.

This is what the Chair of Kenya Power had to say (image):
12 hours with no power across Kenya due to a fault at a generation site.

That’s bad, but not nearly as bad as the international airport not having any power due to the backup generation there being down and flights being sent 4 hours away to South Africa. Embarrassing.
