With predictions of a major heat wave for Sunday, Monday, and into Tuesday across California, and the possibility of rolling blackouts as the electrical grid struggles to keep up with demand, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency to free up additional energy capacity.
Residents are also being asked to conserve energy with a Flex Alert.
Press release from the California Office of Emergency Services:
Governor Gavin Newsom…signed an emergency proclamation to free up additional energy capacity amid extreme temperatures across California.
The proclamation permits power plants to generate more power by suspending certain permitting requirements, helping to alleviate the heat-induced demands on the state’s energy grid. Facilities are required to report any violations of these suspended permitting requirements to relevant local and state regulatory bodies. The proclamation also contains provisions related to the use of generators and auxiliary ship engines.
The text of the Governor’s proclamation can be found here and a copy can be found here.
