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

404 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?

This is news to me, can you share the link where it says a country paying other countries to get rid of their extra unconsumed electricity?
