Keep in mind that the chart shows generating capacity and use, and ignores transmission limitations. IOW, there may be plenty of power up North, but no way to get it down South.

Kind of interesting if you go to the system status graphic they are now forecasting the daily system peak for Monday to be 43,700 MW. This is down from the news release on Friday of 46,252 MW's.
I am sure that the 2,552 MW reduction in forecast power demand is due to the Cal ISO request for Californians to use less electricity as discussed in their Friday press release/Power Watch!

Hope you don't need to buy gas...

I turned the AC off at 9 pm last night instead of letting it run all night. There. How's that for helpful?

You need to turn the AC off during the day, that would be helpful. LOL!
There was cloud cover till after 1PM on the SoCal beaches so that may have dropped the load requirements a bit. But inland, I was over on the 55 Fwy in Santa Ana and it was warm.....
To: snopercod
yes, but the forecast for Socal was way off...its 13 degrees cooler than they called for....
I actually felt a coastal breeze in Burbank around 1pm

Ummmmm, it takes electricity to pump gas into your tank at a gas station.
