California's power grid is typically tested during wildfire season or intense heat waves, but a winter storm system has challenged the state's electric grid in new ways. Experts say resiliency measures are needed.
Utility workers from Pacific Gas & Electric clear a fallen tree, which took down some power lines next to Bella Vista Elementary School in Oakland earlier this month.
While the storms were severe across the state, McCann said Davis did not see unprecedented winds or flooding, adding to his concerns about the grid’s reliability. For years, “hardening” the power grid has been the go-to solution for utilities — burying wires, strengthening and replacing poles, adding backup generators or replacing older equipment — but some electric grid experts said those efforts are often limited by time and money.
