Electricity/Power Alert

SCE Urges Conservation as High Temperatures Prompt State Agency to Call ‘Flex Alert’
With triple digit temperatures forecast through many parts of Southern California during the next few days, Southern California Edison urges customers to conserve power. A "Flex Alert" has been declared by the California Independent System Operator for Tuesday through Thursday.

Californians should reduce their energy use during the late afternoon when air conditioners drive consumption to the highest point of the day.

Conservation Tips:

• Set thermostats no lower than 78 degrees
• Use electric fans instead of air conditioners when practical
• Turn off unused appliances
• Shut off lights when leaving a room
• Close your drapes and blinds to keep direct sunlight during hot
periods
• Operate swimming pool equipment and energy-intensive appliances
during the early morning and evening hours
• When possible, businesses should shift power-intensive work
processors to morning or evening hours
