Officials have issued a flex alert for California from 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday citing high temperatures forecast for the Golden State and much of the West.
While the alert’s active, California residents are asked to set their thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, if health permits, and to avoid using major appliances and turning on unnecessary lights.
“Conserving electricity during the late afternoon and early evening is crucial because that is when the grid is most stressed due to higher demand and declining solar energy production,” the grid operator said. The cooperation of residents during previous flex alerts has helped keep the power grid stable during periods of high demand, and prevented other emergency measures, like rolling blackouts, the grid operator said.Adjust your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher during the alert hours, unless medically necessary. Turn it off if you will not be home.Keep the main refrigerator full and unplug additional refrigerators.
Avoid using electrical appliances and devices. Put off tasks such as vacuuming, laundry, running the dishwasher and computer time until after 9 p.m. or do so earlier in the day.Pre-cool your home by lowering the thermostat.
