Flex Alert Is Issued For Tuesday

Los Angeles Times | August 13, 2012:

With the state’s heat wave expected to continue through the week, the California Independent System Operator once again issued a flex alert, a call for customers to conserve power to avoid outages.

The alert will be in effect Tuesday between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. During that time, customers are asked to keep thermostats at 78 degrees or higher, to turn off air conditioning when not at home, to turn off unnecessary lights and appliances and to restrict the use of major appliances to the morning and late evening.
