http://proethica.org/ontology/case/73#Public_Safety_Rolling_Blackout_Risk
Properties
Instance of
Active period
From Engineer A's awareness of the rolling blackout risk through any board decision that fails to address the grid stress externality
Affected parties
Engineer A
Local utility
Organization
Third-party electricity consumers
Confidence
0.91
Importance
high
Subject
Third-party electricity consumers and the broader public served by the local utility
Terminated by
Adoption of a design that includes storage, retention of co-generation, or utility capacity expansion sufficient to prevent rolling outages
Triggering event
Utility planners' disclosure of potential rolling outages during extreme weather, worsened by the prospective solar-without-storage transition
Urgency level
high
Source Evidence
Source text
during extreme weather events, they may be forced to institute rolling outages
Text references
a move to solar production without storage may stress the local utility generation mix even more, increasing the likelihood of rolling blackouts
during extreme weather events, they may be forced to institute rolling outages
