preview

Welcome, Your AccountLog Out SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&amp;E) says customers need to be prepared for rolling blackouts through Wednesday evening due to the heat wave that is still gripping much of California.The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) issued a flex alert on Sunday, asking people to conserve electricity each day from 3 p.m. through 10 p.m., when temperatures remain high and solar production is failing due to the sun setting.Cal ISO said the record-breaking heat is causing a strain on supplies.The ISO issued a statewide Flex Alert, a call for voluntary electricity conservation, today through Wednesday, 3 to 10 p.m. each day. Record-breaking heat is straining supplies; consumers should plan for potential outages. — California ISO (@California_ISO) VIDEO: ABC7 News spoke to PG&amp;E this afternoon to get a better explanation as to how the blackouts would work."This is really a statewide issue, it's not just a Bay Area issue or a PG&amp;E issue cause it is rotating blocks so it's like 200,000 to 250,000 customers at a time, but depending upon how long the supply and demand challenge exists it's multiple groups of 200,000 to 250,000 so one group will be out for an hour and then another group will be out for an hour, hour and a half, most of these outages will be relatively short," PG&amp;E Spokesperson Jeff Smith said.PG&amp;E says the decision is squarely on Cal ISO and in some instances the utility is given just a few minutes to cut the power.RELATED: PG&amp;E strongly encourages all customers to conserve energy amid the hot weather and offers these tips:For the latest on PG&amp;E outages across the Bay Area RELATED STORIES &amp; VIDEOS:Related topics:Copyright © 2020 KGO-TV.
