Here in about 24 hours, the grid is going to see a lot of load increase in the residential areas, but the loss of all of the industrial loads will counteract that and the grid will stay stable.
The more you use, the more the watts are changed in the formula.
1 var = (1 Volt) x (1 Amp that is 90 degrees out of phase with the 1 Volt)
var = Volts x Amperes x sine theta where theta is the phase angle between load Voltage and load Amperes.
The magnitude of var (imaginary power) is the opposite side of the power triangle formed with the magnitude of Watts (real power) as the adjacent side and the magnitude of Volt Amps (apparent power) as the hypotenuse.
