When the grid collapsed, the frequency was 50.2 hertz, he said, which is normal. Had states been overdrawing, the frequency would have dropped well below that level, he added.

I'm scratching my head on that statement. True that my electrical engineering degree is maybe a couple decades out of date, but I think they probably meant the voltage would have dropped, not the frequency. But then, I specialized in the low voltage side of EE, not the power distribution side. We called those power folks "hummers", because everything they touched hummed.
