The country has also faced a series of
rolling electricity load - shedding incidents and there is greater caution about the use of nuclear power owing to the Fukushima accident in Japan, spurring interest in both large - scale fuel cell applications and residential fuel cell micro-CHP.
Grid collapse can be monumentally expensive, as can arbitrary reductions in demand known as
load shedding which force users to halt all
electricity use, usually on an arbitrary
rolling basis between various regional areas.
