California grid operator extends Flex Alert through Saturday
Published article
FOLSOM, Calif. - As California s latest heat wave persists through Friday evening and into the weekend, the California Independent System Operator or Cal ISO has announced that it is extending a statewide Flex Alert for a second day as extreme heat in the Golden State and a growing wildfire in southern Oregon threatening transmission lines continue to strain the state s electric grid.
The Flex Alert is now extended through Saturday, Cal ISO officials announced early Friday evening.
Friday s Flex Alert is from 4 to 9 p.m. It will go into effect during the same times of day on Saturday. When it does, consumers are strongly encouraged to conserve energy by performing the following steps: setting thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, if health permits; avoiding the use of major appliances; and turning off all unnecessary lights.

(Reuters) - California s power grid operator on Thursday issued a flex alert for Friday, asking consumers to conserve energy from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. as high demand driven by extreme heat could trigger a capacity shortfall on the state s electric grid.
If the grid is still unable to meet power needs and other tools for emergency conditions also fall short, the California Independent System (ISO), the grid operator, said in a statement that it could order utilities to implement rotating power outages, although that is not anticipated at this time.
