Bay Area: might want to charge your devices this morning. PG&E says outages possible.

San Francisco Chronicle / June 10, 2022

With hot weather blasting into the Bay Area on Friday, officials are warning that the spike in temperatures could stress the power grid and diminish air quality, with electrical outages possible and a Spare the Air Alert in effect.

The heat could create an “all-hands -on-deck event,” PG&E spokesperson Tamar Sarkissian said, with crews positioned to respond to any power outages.

The ISO website Thursday afternoon showed demand well within capacity, but temperatures are expected to be significantly higher Friday. The agency says most Flex Alerts are issued during extremely hot summer evenings when solar generation is going offline and people are returning home and using air conditioners, lights and appliances.

I charge mine early in the morning while demand is low.
