Federal Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg says serious questions will be raised about how the entirety of South Australia could be left without electricity in the wake of a huge storm, dubbed the largest in 50 years.

"So these are the questions that myself and the Prime Minister and the energy ministers and the premiers across the states and indeed across the territories, are asking in the coming weeks.
