Here in San Antonio (CPS is our sole provider) we get emails asking us to reduce our use during peak hours on high demand days like today.
Not sure how well it works, but they send out another email letting us know how we did compared to similarly sized houses in my area.
If demand goes over the edge, they will start doing rolling black outs.
- unethical_ban 2y ago"A message from CPS Energy" I haven't paid much attention to them. Perhaps they should put a threat level code in the subject line. Green = Go about your day Yellow = Don't use your big appliances or hot water as much Orange = Yellow, plus turn the thermostat to 80 and keep the doors closed Red = Bitcoin mines offline. All buildings shut down ancillary consumption. A/C in common spaces set to 85. Prepare to roll blackouts.
