California, a state of nearly 40 million people, is bracing for a round of power outages over Labor Day weekend due to an extreme heatwave, less than a month since the state experienced rolling blackouts for the first time in decades.
The California Independent System Operator, a nonprofit organization that oversees the state’s power grid, released a statement on Twitter calling on Californians to reduce their energy consumption. The ISO subsequently called a Stage 2 warning, which means that the power grid can no longer meet energy requirements for residents.
