California ISO Issues Flex Alert for Today Aug. 31
Folsom, CA...The California Independent System Operator (ISO) has issued a statewide Flex Alert, a call for voluntary electricity conservation, for today, Aug. 31 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., due to high temperatures pushing up energy demand and tightening available power supplies. With excessive heat in the forecast across much of the state and Western U.S., the grid operator is expecting high electricity demand, primarily from air conditioning use, and is calling for voluntary conservation steps to help balance supply and demand. Additional Flex Alerts are also possible through the Labor Day weekend as record-setting temperatures are forecast across much of the West.
In what’s likely to be the most extensive heat wave so far in the West this year, temperatures in Northern California are expected to be 10-20 degrees warmer than normal through Tuesday, Sept. 6. In Southern California, temperatures are expected to be 10-18 degrees warmer than normal. Death Valley is currently forecast to peak at 126 degrees on Saturday, which would tie the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth in the month of September.
Today’s Flex Alert is scheduled between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., when the grid is most stressed from higher demand and less solar energy. During that time, consumers are urged to conserve power by setting thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, if health permits, avoiding use of major applicances and turning off unnecessary lights. They should also avoid charging electric vehicles while the Flex Alert is in effect.
To minimize discomfort and help with grid stability, consumers are also encouraged to pre-cool their homes and use major appliances and charge electric vehicles and electronic devices before 4 p.m., when conservation begins to become most critical.
Reducing energy use during a Flex Alert can help stabilize the power grid during tight supply conditions and prevent further emergency measures, including rotating power outages.
Flex Alert Conservation Actions
Before 4 p.m.:
Pre-cool home by setting the thermostat to as low as 72 degrees
Use major appliances, including:
o Washer and dryer
o Dishwasher
o Oven and stove for pre-cooking and preparing meals
Charge electric vehicles
Adjust blinds and drapes to cover windows
From 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.:
Set thermostat to 78 degrees or higher, if health permits
Avoid using major appliances and charging electric vehicles
Turn off all unnecessary lights
About Flex Alerts

Ok Libs please explain, Sac passes no gas sold after 2035 and in the same week because of a heatwave they say not to charge or use my EV if staying local.
So leave my Telsa parked and instead drive my diesel truck and pay over 6 bucks a gallon. Why did I buy a EV.

EXCLUSIVE: White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's claim that illegal immigrants aren’t just "walking across" the southern border has sparked anger and shock from Border Patrol agents — who witness hundreds of migrants flooding across the border every single day.
"How out of touch can this administration possibly be?" one agent told Fox News. "Well, I guess this is a new level."
Jean-Pierre was asked on Monday why migrants are allowed to illegally enter the U.S. without being vaccinated for COVID-19 but an unvaccinated foreign national traveling on a plane is not."
I guess jean Pierre thinks the illegal invasion of our border takes California's Bullet Train, or maybe Mexico Air, First Class of course.
Does any one person in this administration have a brain?
It's like the DOJ raid on Trump's home and Biden's DOJ took pictures of papers that said TOP SECRET??? Really? Did that remind anyone else of when we invaded Saddam Hussein's Iraqi and one of his bomb making factory's and they put signs in English after they were destroyed written on them, baby food or baby formula? I guess that fooled all of the liberal/ Dems.......again.😂🤣😉

Trump was sucking Putin's johnson, bailing on NATO, and playing pocket pool with little rocket man.
Our European allies were totally alienated by Trump.
Who the F do you think you're kidding?
Everything you've written is complete gaslighting.
