"California Grid Braces for Surge in Power Demand Amid Heat Wave"

California's Independent System Operator (ISO) is warning of high temperatures and increased electricity usage during the coming week, as the grid operator prepares for tight conditions and potential supply shortages. ISO is closely monitoring the power grid as heat waves can strain resources across multiple Western states. While energy supplies are currently sufficient to meet demand, ISO may issue emergency notifications and Flex Alerts to secure additional resources and urge consumers to reduce power use during peak hours. Temperatures in California could reach 5-15 degrees hotter than usual for mid-August, with the northern interior experiencing temperatures of 98-108°F and the desert Southwest seeing highs of 105-118°F.
