Everyone has similar agreements with local power grids, and pretty much all DC operators respond to demand reduction calls from the grid.

It's extremely rare for a DC to put an entire community's grid at risk, and they are usually working closely with the upstream power providers during any storm, increased demand, etc.

I think there is a lot of hand wringing from folks who have never worked in DC operations.
