A multi-state heatwave will test California's electric grid over Labor Day weekend as triple-digit temperatures hit millions of people simultaneously, prompting concern that the state could once again turn to rolling blackouts.
A multi-state heatwave will test California's electric grid over Labor Day weekend as triple-digit temperatures hit millions of people simultaneously, prompting concern that the state could once again turn to rolling blackouts.
California's Independent System Operator, which oversees the state's electric power grid, has urged residents to conserve power between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m, when the grid is most stressed from high demand and less solar energy. Wednesday's Flex Alert only lasts through the day, but regulators warned more alerts could come Labor Day weekend.If Californians don't conserve enough energy, and regulators don't have enough power to meet demand amidst the heat wave, the state will be forced to institute widespread blackouts to reduce pressure on the electric grid.
The peak load for electricity demand in California is projected to exceed 48,000 megawatts on Monday, the highest of the year, the system operator said.The looming potential of blackouts comes when officials fear demand for electricity will exceed the state's ability to supply it, California Governor Newsom said in a press conference Wednesday.
