Cal ISO said Sunday evening it needs California to save even more electricity than previously believed, as the worst of the current heat waves descends on the state Monday and Tuesday.
SACRAMENTO -- California's Independent System Operator said Sunday evening it needs California to save even more electricity than previously believed, as the worst of the current heat waves descends on the state on Monday and Tuesday.
"Because of the increasingly extreme conditions, we will need significant additional consumer demand reductions during the hours of 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday and access to all the emergency tools that the state and utilities have established for an extreme event like this one," Mainzer said."We thank electricity consumers for their sustained effort to help us maintain reliability during these very difficult conditions.
The heat wave is historic for both its temperatures and its duration. Heat advisories and excessive heat warnings are in place across the Western U.S., with daytime temperatures expected to be 10-20 degrees above normal.
