California is facing worsening power grid challenges on Monday and Tuesday. demand for power is approaching record levels.
"Starting tomorrow, this multi-day event is going to get much more intense," ISO CEO Elliot Mainzer said in a statement. "We are facing a load forecast of 48,817 megawatts and energy deficits between 2,000 and 4,000 megawatts for Monday, resulting in the highest likelihood of rotating outages we have seen so far this summer."
"Because of the increasingly extreme conditions, we will need significant additional consumer demand reductions during the hours of 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday and access to all the emergency tools that the state and utilities have established for an extreme event like this one. We thank electricity consumers for their sustained effort to help us maintain reliability during these very difficult conditions," he said.

Too many customers; they will have to leave the state.

Must be all those electric cars.
Let's just shut the power grid off so no one will know.
Better get the hand cranks ready to speed up the windmills
What about all those Wind turbines near Palm Springs?
There is speculation that the Hoover Dam that CA receives power from may have to reduce or stop generation due to water shortage. Could be a very bad situation brewing.
Build more nukes. 😉
What? California can't support electric cars?
California power grid says demand wasn’t supposed to be this high. Who are all these power customers?
