High temperatures in San Diego aren’t expected to jump off the charts, but triple digits in other parts of California could strain the grid enough to prompt a statewide Flex Alert
that the energy supply has increased tenfold in recent years. More than 5,000 megawatts are available to be dispatched compared to just 500 three years ago, according to Cal-ISO storage sector manager Gabe Murtaugh.
”5,000 megawatts is about enough to provide power to roughly 10% of the load during our absolute most critical hours,” Murtaugh said. “So if you think about having an additional 10% of capacity, basically that you can use during those Flex Alert times, it allows you to better serve your load and hopefully call Flex Alerts less often."
San Diego Gas and Electric’s recent storage facilities are contributing to the 5,000 megawatts. The agency recently brought two new facilities online, one in Fallbrook— the smaller of the two — and the other in Imperial County. Collectively, the two generate 171 megawatts. According to
