Tips

Flex Alerts

  • Follow Cal ISO on Twitter for the latest
  • Cal IOS's current power outlook
  • The California Independent System Operator (ISO) is expecting high electricity demand, mainly from air condition use, and is asking people to conserve power between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Voluntary use, like reducing major appliance use and turning off lights, can help reduce the strain on the power grid.
  • Some areas such as Roseville, the city of Sacramento and Modesto would not be affected by possible rolling blackouts because they are not part of the California Independent System Operator's system.
