For a 9th straight day, Californians are being asked to conserve power tonight -- this time starting at 3 p.m. and all the way through 10 p.m.
Another Flex Alert has been issued for California Thursday, but this one will be the longest-lasting one yet, starting at 3 p.m. to end at 10 p.m.
Most Flex Alerts have called for Californians to conserve power between 4 and 9 p.m. But a so-called heat dome has kept temperatures across much of California elevated, prompting Cal ISO to declare Energy Emergency Alerts this week that could require rolling blackouts to ease the strain on the power grid.
There were some power outages in Northern California communities, but Mainzer said statewide rolling blackouts were avoided after Gov. Gavin Newsom triggered an emergency message to cell phones, calling on people to reduce their power usage. Mainzer said Californians responded in force to the message immediately after it was sent.
