What is force load shedding?

Force load shedding is a controlled process where electrical supply is intentionally reduced to manage demand and prevent the overloading of the power grid. This often occurs during peak usage times or when there is a shortage of electricity generation, leading to temporary outages for certain areas or customers. The goal is to maintain grid stability and prevent widespread blackouts. Utilities typically implement load shedding as a last resort to ensure the overall reliability of the power system.
