California Readies To Prevent Blackouts, But Threats Remain By Adam Beam | May 20, 2021
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California’s top energy regulators on Tuesday said the state is better prepared to avoid last summer’s rotating blackouts, but they cautioned the power grid of the nation’s most populous state is still vulnerable to extreme heat waves that could force more outages later this year.
State officials say they have acquired an additional 3,500 megawatts of capacity ahead of a likely scorching summer that threatens to increase demand beyond what the grid can handle. That includes an additional 2,000 megawatts of batteries designed to store energy generated from renewable sources like solar that stop working when it gets dark.

Last summer, an extreme heat wave across the United States increased demand for electricity so much that state officials had to briefly turn off the power for hundreds of thousands of people. On Tuesday, May 18, 2021, the state s top energy regulators told state lawmakers they are better prepared for a similar scenario this year. But they said they could not guarantee rolling blackouts would not happen again.Richard Vogel/AP
