Good afternoon. We are expecting an update from the governor on our heat wave and energy concerns. First, lets get right to mary lee. Yes, i am still tracking thunderstorms with numerous lightning strikes on High Definition doppler. So, zooming in, catching heavy downpours as well as the lightning strikes arf cloverdal you can see several lightning strikes up near willis. With those thunderstorms pushing through. Even though the red flag warning has expired, there is still a very high fire danger due to the lightning strikes as well as how dry everything is. We will continue with all of these heat advisories for the bay area due to the dangerous heat. Temperatures are climbing there the rest of the afternoon. Triple digit heat for fairfield. We are looking at the 80s around the bay. 89 for oakland. We are looking at the chance to see a few more thunderstorms this afternoon. Things should quiet down through this evening. At least by thursday we will cool it down a bit with onshore flow. Temperatures will be slightly cooler. This is as we look ahead to friday, and into the weekend. In effect today because of the heat wave, the governor has signed a proclamation it is designed to prevent blackouts. It follows major disruptions which the governor calls unacceptable. He said they failed to anticipate this event and to take next reactions to ensure reliable power to californians. They deserve better from their government. We are expecting a news conference. He is speaking right now. Lets toss it over. We see wind gusts north of 74 miles per hour. Record temperatures that weve experienced again not just here in the state of california but, arguably, the hottest temperatures be seen over an extended period of time. This is including headlines being garnered around the world with our own death valley that may have recorded the hottest temperature in modern recording. Some have argued that at least in the last 90 years. You got the point cabin hundred 30 degrees heat in death valley california. We are all experiencing rather extraordinary conditions. Those conditions have precipitated as i said, in a number of new fires in the state of california. Many of those fires are under 1000 acres. Most of those fires are in a condition where we are confident we will be able to tackle and be able to suppress them in relatively short order. There are however for larger fires in the state of california. We have the river fire which has generated headlines. Of course, the apple fire which is substantially contained down in riverside. You can see the containment in each and every one of those fires. Ranch fire is at 19 . 31 containment. That is substantially contained. Those are active fires there. That is a way of expressing that heat index putting an enormous amount of pressure not just on all of you, but our firefighters that are dealing with extraordinary circumstances the likes of which we have not seen in quite some time. Most fire branch vegetation fires we continue to actively monitor. I want to think the administration. There Quick Support here. You can see, they have been granted from those partners and the apple fire. That will help with our recovery efforts. It will help with our billing to distribute emergency resources in real time. The power and potency of those federal partnerships that are clearly in play at times like these. Of course, times like these also have precipitated in pressure. But, particularly here in the state of california. It has put pressure that has created temporary Service Interruptions that began on friday. It moved into saturday. They are substantially mitigated on sunday. They are very likely to continue today, tuesday, and likely through wednesday evening. Let me just emphasize this. This is what occurred when i last left you. This is a new flex alert. That is what we were looking to be short of the megawatts needed here. And, there and interrupted. Best throughout the state of california. This is about a short time. It fell short roughly 150 megawatts. We were able to turn some things on. They are looking at that strategies. To mitigate and obviate that for further interruptions. This is only modest or minor interruptions in service in the state of california. Today, we are anticipating substantially greater need for energy. Roughly 4500 megawatts, 4400 to be precise. That is just short of where we need to be. That is top line. We are not just going to accept that as state. We are going to try to reduce the stress and reduce the need to reach that 4400 megawatt goal. Thats three different strategies in terms of procurement of new energy. This next few days, we are anticipating being challenged as it relates to these conditions. We always maintain that growing older you cant control the weather but you can prepare for the weather events. Let me just make this clear, we have failed to predict and plan the shortages which is simply unacceptable. I will ultimately taketake responsibility, have taken responsibility to immediately address this issue we are making sure that this never happens again here in the state of california. That process, shortly after we left you working throughout the weekend with our Energy Commission with our independent system operator and the Public Utilities commission. We have been working with businesses large and small. We are working with expert to address the crisis to understand the conditions that led up to it and ultimately to address the anxiety that each and every one of you are facing and to make sure that we never come back to this position again. Right now california, we are currently and urgently deploying resources across the spectrum. We will ask you to participate in that in a moment. We will show you what has occurred and whats happened in course of the last 48 hours. I signed an emergency proclamation that very specifically shifts Energy Consumption in the state focused on large energy users. We are shifting to the backup power so that they can utilize it during the peak hours. We identify them roughly 3 p. M. We will say 3 00 p. M. To 10 00 p. M. I can explain why those become the most precious, in terms of our concerns, particularly as it relates to the sun going down the utilization of solar and the fact that while we have had peak gusts of wind events across the state have been relatively mild. That is a good thing from a buyer perspective. Thats an unfortunate moment as it relates to addressing the episodic nature of the renewable portfolio in which we are prideful in the state of california. We are vulnerable to it in those conditions that we have stated. We have looked to focus on the shared power that we have stored as part of our protocols. We have talked a lot in the last year. They need to have protocols not just with them, in Northern California but also our other investor owned utilities. There are new protocols new procedures that are required this is the stored energy and power. We are going to allow for the utilization for nonpurposes of that stored power. Thats pursuant to this emergency pot proclamation that i put forward. We are working with them up and down the state of california interestingly, too many of you perhaps large ships that come in on the port, huge container volume. It comes in and out of the state of california. They utilized tremendous amounts of energy. We are working to reduce the consumption of that energy at those ports. As we said, we are working with major customers some of the largest commercial consumers as well as some wellestablished consumers that are brands in the state to tesla that have been very helpful and accommodating in terms of putting out messages to their Consumer Base around the need to reduce usage. We also are working to procure and bring online more energy from them. This is getting online. We are looking at the peak hours. These are our peak generators. This is the vernacular of our Energy Experts in getting them online. Basically putting all of them in the toolkit meeting those needs in the 72 hours. But even with all of that, we are likely to fall short. We should see some episodic issues as it relates to supplying the coverage that you deserve and what you demand. Accordingly, it goes without saying that you deserve and also demand what happened and the implications of what this means this initiative over the course of the last 48 are is to understand exactly the relationships between the puc and california energy. You can understand contessa forecasting in terms of our energy needs they put out criteria in order to meet that forecast. These fundamentally focused on procurement. It is a shared responsibility between those three agencies. None of us in the state of california are immune or nac about the hot getting hotter, the dry getting drier and awaits getting wetter. We have long recognized the consequences of climate change. We have long recognized that by reconciling our responsibility as the largest in United States of america to do more and to do better in terms of our low carbon green growth future. We are committed to radically changing the way we produce and consume energy. We are creating more jobs in this green sector then we do in the fossil fuel space. We see it as an economic imperative. We see it as a moral and ethical imperative as it relates to the kind of world we are going to leave to our kids and grandkids. We are not backing off on that commitment, quite the contrary. In the process of the transition, in the process of shutting down, the desire and the need to shut down polluting gas plants and a desire to go from old to the new in that transition and the need to shut those down comes the need to have more insurance. That comes the need to recognize that there have been, by definition, in the last two days, we expect over the next few days in terms of reliability. We cant sacrifice that as he move forward. They have been focusing those efforts and our intention in making sure that that is the case that we need to make sure that we have the demand response system. That meets the expectations that we have all forecasted around issues of climate change. Also, around the prospect that this is not the last record breaking historic heat dome. An experience that we will have in the state or in this region or in our hemisphere. This is in our lifetime. It is quite the contrary. This is exactly what so many scientists have predicted. It is manifeston the west coast of the United States. It is also manifesting in droughts not just wildfires and not just the issue of concerns around high quality, Reliable Energy for people that must have that support for their health, for our economic prosperity. One thing that i am certain of is we will move forward with the focus and diligence that is required of us to meet our responsibilities head on. To guarantee protocols processes, forecasting, more sober around the potency of solar. What it means when there is higher humidity. And, the impact that that has on solar. What that relates to our broader portfolio mix. Our current protocols with exports of energy. That is to west coast states. And, ourstates. And, our capacity on storage in particular that substantially needs to be improved as technology is catching up our efforts to be advanced in this space. Im confident in our capacity to deal with that. The reason i maintain that confidence is that the work that weve been doing in the last year, particularly what weve been doing with our largest Public Utilities in this country, the largest in the United States but the others to really map the future of reliability. That looks very differently than today. We have been advancing goals. We are now the transition of that. Now we have to sober up to the reality that in this transition we are going to have to do more and be much more mindful in terms of capacity providing backup and insurance. Im not pleased with what happened. I take a backseat to no one. If you are on the sidelines, i can assure you you shouldnt be pleased at the moment that we are in. We will get to the bottom of it. Thats why our investigation into what happens will be done swiftly and immediately. We will lay out in detail terms what we are going to do to make sure that this doesnt happen again. That is the certainty that we are committed to in this moment, obviously of uncertainty that you have been put into. So, with that, i want you to know that that is our resolve and our commitment. It is also our request of you to help us mitigate this moment by doing what you can and many of you are well aware living in the west coast of the United States particularly here in california these flex alerts happen quite often. These are just encouraging you as an individual and a Business Owner as well to help participate some total individual actions in the aggregate is the total impact that we will have over the course of the next 72 hours to mitigate the impacts of the and an education that we are likely to experience. By setting your ac from cooling or homes and offices overnight and in the early morning, close those drapes to make sure that the windows arent open in the middle of the day, just consider, to the extent that you can, using major appliances in the off hours. Those are hours not 3 00 p. M. To 10 00 p. M. But i want to implore you to the impact of those decisions. Using those major appliances during those off hours can help. As i am reminding my two kids this morning, as they are waking up, turn off those lights. That is something all of us can do. This can really help us conserve energy and help us through this very challenging period of time. Let me now turn to another challenge that we have in the state of california relating to the pandemic. We are just updatiou on what we have been discussing over the course of the last few weeks related to those cases. We have adjudicated the positivity of over 295,000 cases that were in the back log. We had a lot that were de duplicated. We were able to get a new denominator. The bottom line is, we have 14,000 positive cases that we have put through our backlog. As you know, we were able to clear out all of those cases last week. That was the numbers we presented last week including all of those numbers that you see on the screen. When we did that we also made a commitment to you to go back to the county monitoring list. Remember, this date, 58 counties, each one has its own unique conditions. Some parts of the state are less impacted by the coronavirus and other parts of the state. We put out a criteria and a watchlist for what we call the monitoring list. We will also update you on those new counties that have entered on her monitoring list and one county in particular that is dropped off the list as we brought each and every one of these cases to a specific point in time. That way we could update not only you on the Positivity Rates, update you on the impact that that has had with in your respective county and the impact that that has on the monitoring list. Here is what this looked like before the backlog. This is the Positivity Rate. This is what it looked like before we put in all those backlog cases. You can see on this line, where we were before the update. The orange line is where we are post update. The numbers arent precise but they are not substantially off. This is when you look back on july 25th. This is versus 7 around the beginning of august. Bottom line, is the trend line is as we have asserted and as a hospitalization numbers in the icu number suggested. That is an encouraging sign. Again, even when you include the Positivity Rate with the backup. This looks more like an ekg than anything else. But you get a sense of where we were. We thought we were doing a bit better. It looks like when we started adding all those back in, the bottom line is, we are submitting all of that. We have reconciled all of it. Where does that leave us . If you add all those backlog cases, there are 9000, typical case numbers when you add in the backlog over the sevenday period. The numbers that we put out today are the latest numbers, 6469 cases in the state. Those case numbers are high. But they are trending in the right direction. Let me be more specific. We are now averaging close to 134,000 test every single day. This is 133,000, 632 is our average seven daily number of tests. The percentage of people that have been tested over the course of the last 14 days that have tested positive for the coronavirus is 6. 5 . Our Positivity Rate over a 14 day period in the state of california is 6. 5 . Accordingly, we have suggested this in the past, but, the Positivity Rate again stabilizing and moving broadly in the right direction. Also connecting those hospitalizations to continue to decline. The good news is they have been declining sadistically. As a consequence, we have experienced a 21 decline in that 14 day period. 6. 5 positivity all those backup numbers included. Updated numbers on hospitalizations down 21 over a 14 day period. By the way we are at 70 of the capacity representing it with the coronavirus positive patients. As it relates to the icu, we are down 16 over a twoweek period. Again, hospitalizations as well icu admissions trending. We now have, i think its a roughly 19 . In fact, let me confirm that it is 19 of those admissions. They were represented with those healthcare capacities. Hospitalizations are trending downward. We have those numbers also trending downward along with the Positivity Rates. The last monitoring list. You been watching his coronavirus out update. Our coverage continues right now. Streaming right now, in case you missed it, the governor made it very clear that the level of disruptions that many saw over the weekend was unacceptable. He said the state fell short. This will be especially a greater power today and for the next couple of days. That includes an emergency proclamation here. This has now been shifted back to the coronavirus fight. More live coverage of that on your bay area. Of course, we have more on the heat wav wildfires [upbeat music] today was the day that i put everything in perspective. I fell asleep but when i woke up. boy hi, do you want to share my sandwich . vo good feeds our connections. Good feeds us all. Hormel Natural Choice lunch meats. Steffy so, what brings you by, dad .
