Yesterday, DWR provided approximately 500 MW of clean hydropower to the grid.Īs the largest energy user in the state, the SWP is also reducing energy consumption by minimizing pumping operation during peak hours instead moving water across the state at night when energy demand is lower. #Who said power to the people iso#With triple-digit temperatures in much of California and the West, the power grid operator is again expecting high electricity demand, primarily from air conditioning use, and needs voluntary conservation steps to help balance supply and demand.Ĭal ISO has called for another Flex Alert today, encouraging Californians to pre-cool their homes before 4 PM, then turn up thermostats to 78 degrees and avoid using major appliances from 4 – 9 PM.Īdditional details on state actions to maintain grid reliability and keep the lights on:ĭWR’s State Water Project (SWP) is maximizing electrical generation from our hydropower plants during this extreme heat wave. These savings were critical to yesterday’s success, but extreme heat continues to grip the state. Thanks to the Governor’s Emergency Proclamation and efforts made by large energy users, energy producers and California residents, the state avoided power outages. Since yesterday, two new fires have started that threaten transmission lines that supply power to millions of homes. ![]() This kind of weather drives up energy demand, straining power generation equipment as people run their air conditioning. ![]() Yesterday, California and the West experienced extreme heat, driving with temperatures across the state 10 to 20 degrees hotter than normal. ![]()
