BREAKING: Cal-ISO has now issued an Energy Emergency Alert 2, in effect from 4 to 9 p.m. The alert means the state's power grid manager is requesting emergency supplies from all resources to meet what is expected to be a historic demand for electricity.
Cal-ISO anticipates declaring an Energy Emergency Alert 3 by about 5:30 p.m., which will mean that rolling blackouts are imminent.
"This is an extraordinary heat event we are experiencing, and the efforts by consumers to lean in and reduce their energy use after 4 p.m. are absolutely essential," said Elliot Mainzer, the California ISO's president and CEO. Overnight lows are not offering much relief either, staying in the 70s and even in the low 80s in some of the hotter areas.
