    Based on my relatively surface level understanding of electrical grids, a couple milliseconds maybe. Depends how automated supply and demand are balanced.

    The issue isn’t necessarily the physical infrastructure, it’s that electricity generated now must be consumed now. Without people to help manage this very delicate balance the system doesn’t work.
