Record high petrol prices or pay higher taxes – Godongwana says you must pick one

That will blow the fuse on the house before hitting the grid.

Fuse is 100A (22kW) around these neck of the woods.

Doubt it, unless your incoming feed is maybe donkeys years old. Its 80A, and usually your main breaker will be 63A.

Even those wont trip with 7kW charger and oven and stove.

Not exactly the point of the statement though?

Can't believe this has to be restated or that so many missed the point.

Up until now the guavament has been partially paying for the price increase that is directly related to Senior-Moment Cheeto's idiocy with Iran.

Said "paying" came from ... you guessed it.... tax funding. So what is being stated is - pay via more tax or pay the actual price at the pump.

That being said, we *had* a strategic reserve in place for precisely this contingency. Guess what happened to it. Go on. Guess.

Ah no, that was removed a few months back already ( July ). We are paying the actual price at the pump, an inflated one with a major tax component of RAF levies etc.

No, but they will have load ratings at various points in the grid, so at worst a section of the grid will trip if there is too much demand.

I rest my case.

But even at 7kw, the vast majority of localised grids would be able to handle the additional load, as they would deal with it happily at night when people do the ovens/stoves etc.

I'm just that nice of a person ... besides, necklacing isn't a fate I'd wish on anyone, even if they insist on inviting it themselves, I'm sure he'll be reformed and have learned a lesson for life after mere seconds of being engulfed in flames

While I doubt that reform is even in the vocabulary, I will accept that being the better person is always the best route to take, until it isn't.

Imagine how much money it would be if every politician took a pay cut.

In that case then one should be able to export power at 50A but we are limited to 3kW (13.6A).

Yes? And your point is?

The distribution network would explode if everyone used 50A.

 

[ToxicBunny]

The distribution network would explode if everyone used 50A.

But not everyone is using 50A, or would even be using 50A all the time.

And it wouldn't explode, it would trip, and then the technicians would be dispatched to switch the network back on, or rebalance it based on new usage patterns.

like load reduction, daily.

Doubtful.. so long as the full load on the grid is not over the provisioned amount, it would be a rare occurrence, and then something they'd rebalance and fix.

Shouldn't really overload the grid in the way you seem to imagine it would.

Even at the full 7kw draw, its only around 50% of the main house breakers capacity, which would be below the supply breakers capacity, and thus should be below the areas main feed breakers, etc etc. There is a level of "under provision" but it shouldn't be that much.

and what if everyone wanted to use V2G and sell 7kW to the grid in the evening.
