demand cripples victoria's grid

Victoria is now being hit by heat waves and electricity blackouts as networks fail to cope with demand. Even the influx of solar PV has not helped.

Do countries build extra poles and wires and extra centralised generation or do we increase distributed generation and especially controllable generation like BlueGen?

From the age:

"Up to 100,000 Victorian premises could be without power during this week's heatwave as demand cripples the state's electricity grid."

Countries really need to move away from centralised distribution.
