They did. 1/2GW dropped off the grid.

Isn't that an guesstimated 1/2 GW? As it's embedded in the
distribution and not monitored/metered, all they see is a (slight)
reduction in demand from their forecast. Probably well within the
error bars of that forecast.

I don't think the loss of this embedded capacity is included in the
offical figures for how much power the grid lost on that Friday.

Presumably the loss of embedded capacity would be shown by a matching
increase in demand that we can see in some cases... (although not if the
whole area has already been dropped)
