Rolling Blackouts Possible: System Straining

This heatwave has been relentless. DWP workers are battling to keep the system going, however the intense heat in Southern California led to an all-time record power use before noon today. If people don't take measures to conserve electricity immediately, officials may be forced to issue a STAGE 3 POWER ALERT. This means ROLLING BLACKOUTS. Available capacity is extremely low right now and this may be their only option.

This is exactly what we warned about months ago. The DWP has not invested enough to keep the system going at a time of an heat wave.
