California's power grid operator said it does not plan to ask consumers to conserve power on Friday after declaring an energy emergency late Thursday as homes and businesses cranked up their air conditioners to escape a lingering heat wave.
The California Independent System Operator , which operates the grid serving more than 32 million consumers representing about 80% of the state's power load, has said it has enough resources available to meet demand.for about an hour "due to heat conditions and higher than anticipated demand" at around 7:30 p.m. local time as the setting sun reduced the amount of solar power available.
Meteorologists at AccuWeather forecast high temperatures in Los Angeles, the biggest city in California, would reach the low 90s Fahrenheit every day from July 21-25. That compares with a normal high of 82 F for this time of year. The ISO forecast demand would rise from 42,266 megawatts on Thursday to 43,512 MW on Friday. That is well below the grid's all-time high of 52,061 MW on Sept. 6, 2022.
