*An operational situation where all available generation capacity in any country/industry is already in use, all up-regulation bids have been activated, and it is not possible to obtain additional electricity from the neighbouring SOURCES/countries. Moreover, fast disturbance reserve has been used for balance management purposes.
*An energy crisis is any great bottleneck (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. It usually refers to the shortage of oil and additionally to electricity or other natural resources.
The crisis often has effects on the rest of the economy, with many recessions being caused by an energy crisis in some form. In particular, the production costs of electricity rise, which raises manufacturing costs.
*[The demand for electricity can be met in two different ways. The primary method thus far has been for public or private utilities to construct large scale centralized projects to generate and transmit the electricity required to fuel economies. Many of these projects have caused unpleasant environmental effects such as air or radiation pollution and the flooding of large areas of land.
Distributed generation creates power on a smaller scale at locations throughout the electricity network. Often these sites generate electricity as a byproduct of other industrial processes such as using gas from landfills to drive turbines.]

Is shortage of Power.
In general when Electrical supply is less then electrical demand. Usually during hot spells(In USA and other places).
Electric company will make public announcement and in extreem cases shut down the power in the certain parts of the city by rotation, say north side will have no power during peak consumtion on Mon, Wed, Fri days between the hours of 1:00 pm and 4 pm. South side will be without power on Tue, Thr, Sat, days between same time.
All Industries should remain close or they must cut their power on Sun days between the same time when Temp is more then 95 degrees on any sun day.
