So no additional kWh must be imported — in fact, surplus. But the question likely intends: what is the total energy deficit during storm? None.

Why Surplus Energy Can Save the Day: How Excess Electricity During Storms Powers Resilience Without Importing kWh During severe storms, power outages and grid instability often threaten communities. With increasing weather volatility, energy systems face unpredictable stress—raising urgent questions about reliability. One critical concept emerging in modern energy planning is: why no additional electricity (kWh) must be imported when surplus energy already exists on the grid. In fact, during storms, surplus generation can actually prevent power shortages—turningブラックout risks into energy resilience. ### Understanding the Energy Dynamics During Storms While storms disrupt supply chains, damage infrastructure, and spike demand (due to heating or sheltering needs), they also spark unexpected opportunities. Rooftop solar arrays, wind turbines, and battery storage systems often generate more electricity than usual during such events—thanks to clear skies after rain, wind acceleration, or backup generation cycling into high output.
