California ISO, the agency that issues Flex Alerts calling for Californians to conserve power if there is an expected strain on the power grid, has not issued an alert for Friday.

On Thursday, California ISO wrote, "Grid conditions have improved with some generation capacity returning to service, and additional energy imports have been secured. As of now, we are not projecting any energy shortages or further emergency levels."
