This is an example of why erratic, unreliable and expensive weather dependant electricity is not suitable for a large grid. If augmented with an equally expensive battery (which cannot be extinguished when it burns) there may be some reasons to use these monstrosities instead of a cheaper and better petrol or diesel generator.

Suspicious0bservers/ Spaceweathernews did a video on this. Said it was penetrating solar wind reaching the surface via an atmospheric tornado. The earth's magnetic field is weakening. We will likely see more of this.

The UK grid hits 49.7x really often and sub 49.699 (Uk grid is interlinked to central europe with power coming from France, Norway etc).

Gridradar has new story: UCTE mains frequency drops below 49.75 Hz on January 8, 2021 https://gridradar.net/de/blog/post/unterfrequenz_januar_2021
The grid did not go down.
