How an Oregon wildfire almost derailed California s power grid Sammy Roth
The first sign of trouble came at 4:22 p.m. Thursday.
Warning of extreme temperatures across much of California, officials urged the state s tens of millions of residents to use less electricity the next evening, to make sure power demand didn t outstrip supply and cause the lights to go out.
It was the third Flex Alert of a young summer that s felt more like August or September as heat waves shatter records and wildfires devour the landscape, symptoms of a climate in chaos. And unlike the first two calls for energy conservation, this one would nearly bring the Golden State s electric grid to its knees all because of a wildfire in southern Oregon.

A state legislative bill that could have killed rooftop solar installation in California is now itself dead, but the issue that sparked it lives on, now left to be resolved by a state commission that has long been a utility company lapdog.
Thatâs the reality today, after the demise of AB1139, a bill that would have broken promises made by the state to all California residents with rooftop solar panels providing energy for themselves and others.
The remaining issue wonât be easy to resolve fairly, and the state Public Utility Commissionâs habit of giving utilities whatever they want means this eventual âsolutionâ will likely tilt neither toward rooftop solar owners nor other electric consumers who help subsidize them, but figures to favor companies like Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. That is what the PUC so far indicates.
