# Power trip

Two big power stations disconnected from the national grid on Monday night in rare 'one-off' event

The national grid operator said two power stations tripping almost simultaneously is a rare, “one-off” event.

The 'tripping' of the two stations resulted in the loss of 820 megawatts of power to the grid.

This was the equivalent of 20% of the total national demand for electricity at that time.

A spokesperson for EirGrid said the incident was unrelated to ongoing issues around security of electricity supply.
