A Flex Alert is an SAN FRANCISCO – when possible. Draw drapes and turn off unnecessary light- ing. urgent call to immedi- ately conserve electrici- ty and shift demand to off-peak hours to ease strain on the grid. CAISO issued the alert in response to forecasts of continued high tem- peratures this week, which will increase expected demand for electricity for air condi- tioning to near record levels. PG&E encourages customers to begin reducing their energy use today, particularly between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., when demand is highest. Customers should follow these sim- ple conservation tips: Adjust your thermo- stat to 78 degrees or higher or turn it off if you will be away from home. Use a fan instead of air conditioning, Keep refrigerator full (with bottles of water if nothing else) and unplug the second refrigerator. Avoid using electrical appliances and devices. Put off tasks like vacu- uming, laundry, dish washing and computer time until after 6 p.m.) Set your pool pump to run overnight instead of during the day. In addition to cus- tomer conservation efforts, PG&E uses "demand response" pro- grams to reduce strain on the grid during sum- mer months. Demand response programs are voluntary and allow enrolled customers to receive an incentive for reducing their energy use during peak demand times, like weekday afternoons. Today, the company activated two demand response pro- grams for more than 2,000 business locations and one program for res- idential customers, reducing demand by approximately 60 megawatts of electricity.
