Bracing for another major heat wave, the manager of California’s electricity grid Thursday issued a call for conservation for most of Labor Day weekend to avoid a repeat of last month’s rolling blackouts.
“We’ll need help,” said Eric Schmitt, vice president of operations at the California Independent System Operator.
The California Independent System Operator, which imposed two nights of rolling blackouts during the mid-August heat storm, on Thursday issued a Flex Alert taking effect Saturday at 3 p.m. The alert runs through 9 p.m. Monday.
