If I read it right, they are asking commercial customers to reduce load, or switch to generators if they can. http://www.caiso.com/informed/Pages/Notifications/

The heat is widespread, and there isn't enough capacity.
- jeffbee 4y agoYou can clearly see the hitch in the demand data where some demand-response loads got turned off due to the level 1 emergency at 16h00.
- pwarner 4y agoAnd larger drop as they went into stage 2. It's going to go to stage 3 tomorrow if not today. What a great wave. I'm sending this from across the country now, but I lost power in 2020 last time it was almost this hot in CA.
- secabeen 4y agoWe'll see. The day-ahead estimates have been high all week, and the temperature is dropping tomorrow. I put it about a 50/50 chance that we break 50GW tomorrow.
- pwarner 4y agoHopefully Seems today may pass okay unless something breaks?
- happyopossum 4y ago> the temperature is dropping tomorrow Maybe in parts of the state, but all over northern CA there are places forecasting a few degrees warmer. Plus the overnight will be high enough that buildings won’t lose as much retained heat, and will start out slightly warmer.
- secabeen 4y agoWe did break 50MW as of about 3pm; the grid still has 58MW of total capacity, so the state should be okay, with a forecasted peak of 52MW. I underestimated the heat in northern California extending past the initial wave.
