Washington State seems to rarely, if ever, have a "brownout" in major metropolitan areas - and we are almost entirely renewables. Of course it is worth noting two things:
1) Most homes here do not have built in AC. People use the portable ones. Heat pumps are a thing too.
2) We have a ridiculous amount of hydro-power available, and some of that being the cheapest around.
