Statewide Stage 1 Emergency Notice [200601616]
The California ISO hereby issues a Statewide STAGE 1 ELECTRICAL EMERGENCY Notice, effective 07/22/2006 13:12 through 07/22/2006 20:00.
Reason(s): Due to the loss of a large resource and high loads across the CAISO control area.
Operating Reserves are currently, or forecast to be, less than amounts required by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council. If Operating Reserves deplete further, the ISO will declare a Stage 2 Electrical Emergency and may begin curtailing Interruptible Loads.
2:00 pm. It’s 106 here in the San Fernando Valley, the 17th day in a row over 100, a new record. And it’s 119 in Palm Springs.
