The California Independent System Operator on Wednesday afternoon (at 12:12 PM PDT) issued an Energy Emergency Alert 1, in effect from 4 to 9 pm.
The alert by the manager of the state's power grid is a warning to utilities that all electricity resources are expected to be fully committed and some shortages are possible.
Residents are already being urged to cut their power use during those hours due to a previously declared Flex Alert, but Cal ISO is again calling on people to step up their conservation efforts further to avoid rolling blackouts.
With electricity demand reaching record levels due to a drawn-out heat wave, Southern California and the whole state avoided rolling power blackouts as the manager of the power grid called for maximum conservation efforts by residents.
On Tuesday morning, Cal ISO declared an Energy Emergency Alert 1 for the same hours, warning utilities that all electricity resources are expected to be fully committed and some shortages are possible. By early afternoon, Cal ISO moved to Energy Emergency Alert 2, requesting all available emergency supplies to be made available to meet the demand. And just before 6 p.m., the state moved into Energy Emergency Alert 3, calling for maximum conservation efforts while warning that blackouts could be imminent absent reduced demand.
"As the state faces the hottest day in this prolonged, record-breaking heat wave, grid conditions are expected to worsen," according to the power-grid manager. "If needed, ISO could order utilities to begin rotating power outages to maintain stability of the electric grid."
If energy reserves are exhausted, the ISO would instruct utilities in its service area to manage rolling blackouts. Utilities make the determination of how best to rotate the outages across their service territory, with the goal of keeping them as short as possible.

Saw a comment earlier that to help out NVenergy someone went and unplugged some teslas at their charging stations. Every little bit helps. Maybe we will leave the AC off in the car on the way to the jam in VC tonight. 😎😂✌
🤣🤣 yes it is a dry heat but coolness 80 ‘s does not take place till 6am
Ya got three more days, it seems. Hang it there. It could be worse. You could live in Texas. It ain’t a dry heat and it goes on for months.
So why are they allowing the NFL to have a Rams game in LA during peak demand times? I guess the peons need their games to go with whatever bread the marxists believe they can get by on.
Some peons are more equal than others.
Wow, what a perfect karma for all these green folks, everyone she go round and plug-in electric cars you see, save the electricity. Yes, save the electricity!
here we see control, a generated crisis with their solution right behind it
Wow, what perfect karma for all these green folks, everyone should go round and unplug any electric cars you see charging, save the electricity. Yes, save the electricity!
Moonbeam and then the Nuisance have ruined California’s power grid. When finding California in a hole, Gavin’s answer is to just keep digging, digging, digging!
