Pretty sure the statutory frequency is 49.6 cycles so there would probably be automatic load shedding.During the summer {!!}some power stations are down for maintenance,of course this is allowed for.at peak times there used to be standbye plant running but not on load but this may not be the case now.Gas Turbines need a few minutes to get up and on load!!
