 Extreme heat throughout California is putting stress on the grid, resulting in the need to conserve energy use. Cal ISO has issued a flex alert for today starting at 4 p.m. We are calling all Californians to work together to keep the power on. Here are steps you can take now. When clean energy is plentiful, Californians should charge devices. Use major appliances like your washer, dryer, and dishwashers. And pre-cool your homes by setting the thermostat down and closing your blinds and windows. When the flex alert hits at 4 p.m., set thermostats to 78 degrees if health permits, avoid using large appliances, turn off unnecessary lights, use fans, and keep windows and blinds closed to help keep your home cool. Californians have proven time and time again that working together, we can accomplish anything. Visit flexalert.org to learn what else you can do to help save energy. Our combined efforts can make the difference.
