why can’t a power plant “dump” extra unused electricity?

384 views

Some countries produce too much electricity at a certain period of the year, and have to pay another country to get rid of their extra own unconsumed electricity. Why can’t a power plant produce more electricity than consumed, what’s the physical obstacle to do so?

Also, what will the receiving country do if this surplus of electricity is again not consumed entirely?

They PAY another country to take their electricity?yeah I don’t understand that. Electricity can be funneled into the ground pretty easily. It sounds to me like one of the many ways governments launder money.
