Today's energy outlook

A Flex Alert is typically issued in the summer when extremely hot weather drives
up electricity use, making the available power supply scarce. This usually
happens in the evening hours when solar generation is going offline and
consumers are returning home and switching on air conditioners, lights, and
appliances.

The Power is Ours to prevent outages with Flex Alerts.

And when you help unplug an outage, you get money back.

The California Public Utilities Commission created a new incentive, the
Emergency Load Reduction program that compensates consumers who reduce their
electricity use when a Flex Alert is in effect. Pacific, Gas and Electric
(PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE)
each manage their program for their customers. For more information on how to
