California’s power grid operator declared a stage 3 energy emergency alert Tuesday evening, warning that rotating power outages were "very possible" as a brutal heat wave walloping the state pushed electricity demand to its limits.
"Energy Emergency Alert 3 with rotating #power outages very possible. Please reduce your energy use," The California Independent System Operator (ISO) tweeted.
California ISO warned residents earlier Tuesday to be prepared for the possibility of rotating power outages and issued an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) 2 for 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Some 67,000 Californians were without power Monday evening, according to powerotage.us, while ongoing power outages affected more than 40,000 Pacific Gas and Electric Company customers across 28 counties.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, wearing what appeared to be a fleece jacket, and hat, issued a statement Tuesday commending Californians' efforts so far, but qualified that everyone needs to "double down to save energy after 4 p.m."

This heat wave is set to be the hottest & longest on record in CA for September.⁰
We are now heading into the worst part of it - the risk of outages is real. Your efforts have paid off so far, but we need everyone to double down to save energy after 4pm. https://t.co/XKRYd9EPQI pic.twitter.com/HtVh5DAjQD— Office of the Governor of California (@CAgovernor) September 6, 2022
Voters getting exactly what they wanted.
The Red Eye guys are going to go wild over this tonight.
Hopefully I can get enough charge on my Tesla to make it out of the State!
charge up that EV before it becomes a lawn ornament
Is this “orange” or “red”...to be followed by BLACK-out?
“commending Californians’ efforts so far”
Such BS. NOBODY is responding to the please to cut power usage. Power generation and consumption is hitting all time highs. People are saying “let Joe and Jose down the street go first.”
Who are “The Red Eye guys”?
So cancel your d@mn "setbacks" on the thermostat and simply maintain your AM low temperature throughout the day instead of trying to "cool down" your pad during the peak heat of the day and the peak demand time.
This isn't rocket science!
I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.
think they will change course at all?
or double down?
well, they are suicidal

The “recovery” will eat up all the “savings” and then some.
Bottom line: “$etbacks” are for suckers.
Just do it, they voted for it......
the ppl in Ca need to use as much power as they can and let it blow completely up.
It would be fun to see what the next move would be
