Answer 1

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the type of solar weather during which one would predict that power grid operations on Earth could degrade. CMEs can release large amounts of charged particles into space, which can interact with Earth's magnetic field and potentially cause geomagnetic storms that can affect power grids.
