Summary:


Flex Your Power NOW! PowerWatch Days Extended Through Wednesday, June 27 through June 29


Extract:

The triple digit heat wave that has gripped much of the state for the last five days is intensifying today in Southern California and continuing in Northern California. Temperatures as high as 110 in the Central Valley will continue on Monday and hot weather is extending into the Southern California coastal areas where the population density is higher. The California ISO is predicting possible record-breaking energy usage in California today and is extending the Flex Your Power NOW! PowerWatch days through Wednesday, June 28 until 7:00 p.m. Consumers can help reduce the strain on the power grid by conserving energy, especially between the peak hours of 3:00-7:00 p.m.

Energy demand on Monday is forecast for 45,097 megawatts, and may break the all time record peak of 45,431 megawatts, set on July 20, 2005.

The California ISO has issued a Restricted Maintenance Operations Notice for Monday 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. to companies that own power plants or transmission lines in California, asking them not to perform any maintenance work on those assets that might put them at a higher risk of tripping off line.
