Why did you stop using Victoria metrics and what are you using instead?

Vancouver development is in bad shape now thanks to these taxes and a glut of new supply that was built with financing not available to the average developer

Pre sales are dead. Some projects are in receivership. New Projects are not going ahead

I’ve done small systems less than 2 MW with 2-3 generators, a mix of hydro and diesel, and only distribution level voltages.

It seems like you would black start some plant using its backup diesel generator to power pumps and controls, probably synchronize at least two units at the plant, then pick up some part of the transmission system. Perhaps the capacitance of the grid is and issue when it is unloaded, so the trick is to make sure enough real and reactive capacity is online for each subsequent transmission or load step. Probably a lot of transmission steps come with a significant amount of load too - not just picking up unloaded transmission lines. Sounds really fun, banging all the governors and exciters with once in a decade load steps

Ah! Perhaps you are a member of the gigawatt club? Eligible for entry once you have accidentally tripped off 1000 MW of load or generation! No sweeping that under the table

Do you have first hand experience re-energizing an entire grid, section of the power system, or individual generators after an outage?

First responders would carry narcan or equivalent. I am sure it is readily available in areas where people are dying daily from overdoses.

Is there any substitute for chrome cast audio? I love being able to play in sync audio to the group of receivers I choose throughout the property, using any amplifier. I’m not even using the digital optical input and I love them
