If you click on the link to the Cal ISO website you can then go to the specific utility blackout information links. This post is to provide folks interested in watching the California power supply set a new record load .

The Cal ISO indicated about an hour ago the following System Message information.

"Path 26 flows (N-S) approaching limit, BEEP has been put into split region mode as of 1021 hours. BEEP will dispatch in two zones and produce two Ex-Post prices."

WECC Path 26 consists of three 500 kV lines between Midway and Vincent. Until recently, the path. Therefore, the Northern AC interties are about at capacity.

The WECC Daily Report indicates that there are limits on both the AC lines from the PNW and the DC line. More importantly, there are again problems that Arizona Public Service is experiencing that could impact California. This can be verified by Clicking here for today's WECC System Report.

Good luck California!

You might also notice all lights go out, all sounds from electrical devices cease, and (if you have a UPS) a beeping sound from beneath your desk.

Last time we had blackouts here they were USUALLY announced ahead of time on the local radio. But not always. With the cold fog on the Cali coast, I can't imagine any need for blackouts these days.
