Yeh, the frequency depends on how much power is demanded and what generation
capacity is online. In a grid power system like the UK they control the
frequency by bringing up and shutting down various power generators to cope
with the demand. I don't know what the short-term allowed variation is, but
over the longer-term (eg 1 day) it is controlled very accurately, enough for
clocks to run off it.
