California ISO has declared an Energy Emergency Alert Level 3, saying rotating power outages are very possible.
EEA Level 3
An EEA Level 3 is declared if operating reserves cannot be maintained above 1,375 MW. If conditions do not improve, continue to deteriorate, or operating reserves drop below 1,000 MW and are not expected to recover within 30 minutes, ERCOT will order transmission companies to reduce demand on the system.
