FLEX ALERT WORKS

The first FLEX Alerts of the season have succeeded in preventing power outages due to excessive demand. Wednesday night’s peak usage came in well below estimates on the second day of alert, and Independent System Operator credits the public for taking the call to conserve seriously. No alert is forecast from the ISO for Thursday evening, although PG&E is predicting an all-time high electricity usage for their service territory.
