Electrical energy authorities have studied power usage patterns throughout India and the share of lighting in it to come up with a plan to deal with the expected dip and surge in usage that day.

When everyone turns off their lights, the power plants will be affected. The situation can be compared to a bicycle climbing up up. When the lights go off simultaneously, it is akin to the bicyclist unexpectedly reaching the peak and continuing to pedal as prior to throughout the climb down. The bicycle speed will then increase and might lead to the cyclist losing his balance. The voltage in the grid and the frequency will surge. The frequency can be understood as the electrical equivalent of the bike’s speed. The bicyclist losing his balance resembles our power plants stopping operation as a result of these sudden changes. If the bicyclist prepares for the steepness of the terrain and the cliff, then he can pedal as required.
