Rotating power outages appear increasingly likely as an unrelenting nearly week-long heat wave pushes the state's demand for electricity to unprecedented levels.

The operator of the state's power grid warned Tuesday afternoon of the possibility of planned outages, a step officials have tried to avoid by issuing calls for voluntary power conservation and taking other measures to balance power demand and supply during the unusually long late-summer heat wave.

Cal-ISO officials who manage the state's power grid said they anticipate calling an Energy Emergency Alert 3 -- meaning rolling blackouts are imminent or already occurring -- by 5:30 p.m. Demand for power Tuesday was expected to reach an all-time high, power officials said.

"As the state faces the hottest day in this prolonged, record- breaking heat wave, grid conditions are expected to worsen,'' according to the power-grid manager. "If needed, ISO could order utilities to begin rotating power outages to maintain stability of the electric grid. If that occurs, consumers should expect communications -- either phone, text or email -- from their utilities notifying them of outage areas and likely durations."

The announcement marked the most urgent in a series of calls from Cal ISO and others to conserve power during the heat wave.

"This is an extraordinary heat event we are experiencing, and the efforts by consumers to lean in and reduce their energy use after 4 p.m. are absolutely essential,'' said Elliot Mainzer, the California ISO's president and CEO.

The California Independent System Operator extended a statewide Flex Alert -- a call for voluntary power conservation -- again for Tuesday afternoon and into the evening. Residents are asked to take all possible measures to conserve electricity during the peak hours of 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the seventh consecutive day.

"We are now heading into the worst part of it," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a tweet Tuesday.

After Flex Alerts, grid managers have several options before rotating power outages, such as tapping backup generators, buying more power from other states and using so-called demand response programs, where people are paid to use less energy.

The agency also declared a Energy Emergency Alert 2 on Monday. The alerts are part of the demand-supply balancing act that Cal ISO performs to avoid power interruptions in the nation's most populous state.

If power demand-supply conditions continue to deteriorate, the ISO would instruct utilities in its service area to manage rotating power outages. Utilities make the determination of how best to spread and rotate the outages across their service territory, with the goal of keeping them as short as possible.

"We never want to get to that point, of course, but we want everyone to be prepared and understand what is at stake," Manzier said. "We can't control the weather, but we really can bend the demand curve and get through this successfully if everyone doubles down and reduces their energy use as much as possible."

If rotating power outages are declared, residents should check timing with their local utility company, such as the LADWP, SoCal Edison and PG&E.

Current forecasts predict peak demand at 51,145 megawatts on Tuesday, which would break the record of 50,270 MW in 2006, according to the ISO. Wednesday's load is forecast at 50,002 MW. The ISO is projecting supply deficiencies of 400 to 3,400 MW between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Consumer and commercial demand response, including Flex Alerts, has been helping to extend tight resources over the past week, with a load reduction of around 1000 MW for each of the past several days.

Here's what to know about rotating power outages and how they're managed.

What can I do to help prevent rotating power outages?

CalISO offers the following power conservation tips when a Flex Alert is issued.

How will I know when there's an urgent need to conserve power?

Cal ISO has a notifications page where you can sign up to receive updates. Check you local utility's page for other alerts. You also can check California's power forecast here.

What happens if Flex Alerts aren't enough?

Californians are familiar with Flex Alerts — a call for power conservation issued by Cal ISO in anticipation of high power demand. They usually happen during widespread extreme heat. The system operator also may issue the following alerts if the voluntary calls to conserve do not appear to be working.

How likely are rolling power outages in California?

Very likely, judging by Tuesday's power demand forecasts.

On Saturday night, the state used about 44,000 megawatts of electricity, according to Cal ISO. By Tuesday, that's supposed to ramp up to more than 50,000 megawatts, nearing record levels of energy use set in 2006. But the state would rather curb demand to avoid that number than test the power grid's capability to respond.

“Our goal is to make sure that we do not reach that number," said Mainzer.

In August 2020, Cal ISO issued a Flex Alert followed by its first Stage 3 Alert since 2001. Eventually, the grid stabilized and utilities began restoring electricity that had been taken out of service. Temperatures around the state hit triple digits in many areas, and air conditioning use increased. In addition, cloudy weather from the remnants of tropical weather system reduced power generation from solar plants.

Why shut off power on a rotating basis?

Rotating outages can be a significant inconvenience, but they are a controlled measure used to manage emergencies. Without them, a widespread and more prolonged power disruption might result.

When was the last time California had rolling power outages?

Several hundred thousand Californians lost power in rolling blackouts in August 2020 amid hot weather. The state avoided a similar scenario last summer. Previously, the state ordered rolling outages during an energy crisis in 2001. Blackouts occurred several times from January to May, including one that affected more than 1.5 million customers in March. The cause was a combination of energy shortages and market manipulation by energy wholesalers, infamously including Enron Corp., that drove up prices by withholding supplies.

What happens when rolling blackouts are ordered?

The California Independent System Operator declares a Stage 3 power emergency and directs utilities around the state to shed their power loads. If your local utility determines a need to shut off power, the blackouts typically last about an hour.

After Cal ISO issues the power outages alert, it's up to local utilities to manage load. In Southern California during the summer of 2020, SoCal Edison announced that it had been instructed to begin rotating, one-hour service interruptions. Pasadena Water and Power also warned residents about the one-hour outages, while Anaheim officials said their outages would not last more than 15 minutes. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power said the rolling blackouts did not affect residents of the city during the 2020 heat wave.

"The investor-owned utilities are responsible for determining the location and duration of the rotating outage within their service areas," according to Cal ISO. "Because the utilities are responsible for managing the rotating outages, consumers experiencing a power outage need to contact their electric power provider to learn when power will be restored."

How can I prepare for a power outage?

Below, you’ll find a few tips to get you through a power outage.

A 15-day outdoor watering ban took effect for 4 million Los Angeles County residents on Tuesday as crews make emergency repairs to a pipeline that delivers water to Southern Californians, according to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

The 36-mile Upper Feeder pipeline, which carries water from the Colorado River to Southern California, began leaking earlier this year, officials said. The agency made temporary repairs and continued using the pipeline at a reduced capacity but scheduled permanent repairs to be made from Tuesday to Sept. 20, during which the pipeline will be offline.

“We need to make this urgent repair to ensure this infrastructure can continue serving Southern California in the immediate term and for years to come,” Brent Yamasaki, MWD operations manager, said in a statement. “While we do this work, we need people who normally get water from this pipeline to eliminate their outdoor water use to stretch the limited available water supplies. We don’t take this call lightly, but it is what is needed at this time.”

The ban affects people in Beverly Hills, Glendale, Burbank, Malibu, Long Beach, Pasadena, San Fernando and Torrance, in addition to residents in the Central Basin Municipal Water District, Three Valleys Municipal Water District, Foothill Municipal Water District and West Basin Municipal Water District. Residents can view the shutdown map on the Metropolitan Water District website to learn more. Residents of the city of Los Angeles and others served by the L.A. Department of Water and Power are not affected, though they are subject to other restrictions.

About 6 million residents of Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties have been limited to outdoor watering one day a week since June 1. Consumers under emergency conservation will have to continue adhering to the water rules.

The leak was discovered in April and the pipeline has been operating at a reduced capacity ever since, according to Adel Hagekhalil, MWD general manager. Staff built a 108-inch pipeline connection that is needed to permanently repair the pipeline.

“The temporary fix we have in place has allowed us to operate the pipeline at a reduced capacity over the summer, but it is not intended to last long term,” Hagekhalil said. “We cannot delay this repair any further — doing so risks a failure and the potential for an unplanned, emergency situation.”

Burbank will be offering free recycled water during the shutdown at George Izay Park as part of the city’s “H20 to Go” program. The recycled water is not safe for drinking and is intended to be used to irrigate trees, plants and gardens.

During the shutdown, officials recommend residents eliminate all outdoor irrigation, stop mowing their lawns and minimize the use of their lawns for parking vehicles and recreation. People are encouraged to put a bucket in their showers to collect water as it warms, then use that water for plants and hot spots on their lawns that are under excessive stress.

The agency also urged people not to leave the water running while washing dishes, and instead fill the sink or a bucket with water to wash their dishes. The used water can then be used to irrigate trees and grass.

SAMOA, Calif. —

There’s a saying about the denizens of this foggy timber town: They don’t tan. They rust.

That’s because it’s usually so misty, so salty and so gray here along California’s far northern coast, said Don Hofacker. But sometimes, he emphasized, it does “get pretty doggone hot.”

“It does get extremely warm here,” Hofacker said. “It gets up to 82 at times.”

Hofacker, 69, is a docent at the maritime museum on the Samoa Peninsula, the narrow spit of sand on Humboldt Bay where he lives. As he mused about his hometown, the afternoon temperature was 56 degrees.

This was 24 hours after both Burbank and Woodland Hills broke daily heat records last week, topping out at 112 degrees.

Told about the temperatures down in sunny Southern California, Hofacker joked that he could think of one other place with that kind of heat: hell.

Most of California is baking under a so-called high-pressure heat dome. Fires have raged in Los Angeles, San Diego and Siskiyou counties. And officials are begging sweaty Californians to use less energy from the overtaxed power grid in order to avoid rolling blackouts.

But the month of September rolled in with a chill here on the Samoa Peninsula — one of the coldest places in California in these waning days of summer.

“We have our natural air conditioning here. If you can put up with a little morning fog and drizzle and overcast sky, it’s not too bad,” said Doug Boushey, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Eureka.

The Pacific Ocean has a moderating effect that Boushey calls a “cool, moist pump.”

When it is hot inland, that warm, thinner air rises in the atmosphere, and cold marine air is sucked in, like a vacuum, to fill the void, Boushey said. The warmer air aloft acts “like a lid,” trapping the heavier, cooler air, which can’t easily flow over mountains.

In Eureka, a mile east across the bay from the peninsula, the hottest temperature ever recorded is 87 degrees, Boushey said. The mercury hit that number in 1993, 2017, and 2020.

It’s a “wimpy record” as far as heat goes, he acknowledged.

With the heat dome firmly in place in parts elsewhere, the average highs around Eureka over the next week are in the mid-60s, Boushey said.

That’s even cooler than the famously frigid summer in a city five hours south: San Francisco. A high of around 79 is forecast there over Labor Day weekend.

Though the overwhelming majority of U.S. cities have had shorter, hotter winters over the last 50 years because of climate change, Eureka is one of the very few to buck the trend, with its winters becoming slightly colder, according to Climate Central, a nonprofit research group.

Since 1970, the average winter temperature in Eureka has dropped 1.3 degrees.

Longtime locals and real estate agents speak of “climate refugees” — people moving to the damp little towns beyond the Redwood Curtain to escape fire, smoke and heat — who are helping to drive up housing costs in an already tight market.

But for all the existential angst about population growth, global warming and sea level rise, most people here are happy to show off their little slice of paradise, which Boushey called “one of the coolest places in the state, in more ways than one.”

So what was life like on the Samoa Peninsula this week, while the rest of the state sizzled?

For the 1,100 or so residents of the narrow spit, which is about 10 miles long and 1 mile wide, it was, well, pretty chill.

With gloomy gray skies overhead, Hofacker — a burly, bearded man who has played Santa Claus in the Salty Santa Boat Parade — closed up the Humboldt Maritime Museum, walked across the parking lot and ate a hearty dinner of meatloaf and piping-hot minestrone soup at the Samoa Cookhouse.

With its faded red-shingle siding, the Samoa Cookhouse, which opened in 1893, is the last surviving lumberjack camp-style cookhouse in the western U.S. It has long tables, with red-and-white-checkered tablecloths, and its own lumberjack museum, with giant saws — and soup ladles befitting Paul Bunyan himself — hanging from the walls.

Many of the local patrons wore short sleeves as the temperatures outside hung in the mid-50s.

“You watch somebody from down south come up here, they’ll be in long-sleeved shirts, down jackets,” he said. “We’re comfortable.”

Just across Cookhouse Road is a trailhead for the Samoa Dunes & Wetlands, which Jennifer Savage — a 20-year peninsula resident who leads the national effort by the nonprofit Surfrider Foundation to reduce plastic in marine environments — was excited to show off.

Savage raised three children here. They’re beach lovers who can name the native plants on the dunes and who balked the first time they felt “real heat” in the Central Valley years ago.

In a puffy vest and long sleeves, Savage hit the sandy hiking trail with Carol Vander Meer and Carla Avila-Martinez, board of directors members for the nonprofit Friends of the Dunes, which became the interim owner of the 357-acre conservation area two years ago.

The trail dipped into a coniferous forest, where the women picked and ate wild huckleberries. Vander Meer noted that the shore pines here grow in contorted shapes because of the chilly wind off the water.

Pale green lace lichen — pronounced “liken” — hung from the branches, flourishing in the damp climate. Vander Meer said people mistake the composite organism of fungus and algae for moss, but there’s a children’s tale to describe what it is:

Once upon a time, she said, there was a fungus named Francine Fungus. She was a great homebuilder but a lousy cook. She met Albert Algae, who couldn’t build a home worth a darn but could make wonderful food just using energy from the sun — photosynthesis.

So, Francine Fungus and Albert Algae took a lichen to each other.

The peninsula’s dunes and beaches drew a lot of people during the first year of the pandemic, when so many indoor places were closed. There was a lot of illegal camping, garbage dumping and off-road driving in ecologically sensitive areas.

“It was a lot of RVs and van-lifers everywhere,” Savage said.

The women said they know the area is only going to become more popular, thanks to its cold, clean air.

On the other side of a steep, sandy dune, the ocean roared. The wind whipped.

Boushey, with the National Weather Service, said that when people spend time outdoors here, they often don’t realize they are getting sunburned.

It’s a phenomenon nicknamed fogburn, he said. The sun’s ultraviolet rays still penetrate the fog and clouds, but “you don’t realize you’re being burned because the air is so cool.”

“You’re comfortable, but the ultraviolet is cooking you and all of a sudden you’re red as a lobster,” he said.

It doesn’t look as though the sun will come out much this week along the redwood coast, he said.

“But I’ll take fogburn any day over 103 or 105 degrees in L.A.”

TheThe past six months witnessed some of Los Angeles’s biggest restaurant openings, including Saffy’s from the Bestia and Bavel team in East Hollywood, chef Ray Garcia’s Asterid at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and semi-hidden sushi destination Sawa in Little Tokyo. Chef José Andrés is back this fall with a handful of new projects — and more are coming — while some of the nation’s most prominent restaurateurs from Chicago and Louisiana are looking to make their mark in LA. From reborn Italian hangouts favored by the Rat Pack to America’s most famous fried chicken, here now are the most anticipated restaurants slated to arrive this fall and early winter.

Projected Opening: November

Since its launch in 2020, Homekey has funded the creation of more than 12,500 homes for people exiting homelessness by purchasing hotels, motels and other buildings

LOS ANGELES – Alongside state and local leaders at a new Homekey project in Los Angeles preparing to welcome tenants, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced the award of $694 million for 35 projects that will create more than 2,500 new units in 19 communities throughout the state. In total, including today’s announcement, California’s nation-leading Homekey program has funded more than 200 projects statewide – creating more than 12,500 permanent and interim homes for people exiting homelessness.

“With 12,500 new homes funded in just two years, Homekey is changing lives across the state,” said Governor Newsom. “Homekey’s groundbreaking success is a model for the nation, showing that we can make real progress on ending homelessness in months, not years. In partnership with cities and counties like Los Angeles, we’ll continue to safely house Californians in need faster and more cost-effectively than ever.”

The Governor today celebrated Homekey’s recent two-year anniversary at a volunteer workday for a Los Angeles Homekey project, where he assisted in assembling welcome kits as part of the site’s move-in preparations. Including today’s awards, the Los Angeles region has to date received $948 million for 62 Homekey projects that will create 4,034 units of housing. The Governor was joined by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH) Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramírez and Department of Housing and Community Development Director Gustavo Velasquez.

“Homekey is more than just another tool in our toolbox in the work to end homelessness – it’s an opportunity for thousands to start anew, and an injection of pride and dignity that can keep Angelenos off the street for good,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “Thanks to this latest infusion of funds, hundreds of people experiencing homelessness today will be offered the stability of a permanent home, the safety of a door with a lock, and the services they need to get back on their feet.”

Homekey has become a national model for how to quickly deploy emergency funds to meet the diverse needs of rural, suburban, urban and tribal communities working to expand homeless housing. Building on the program’s success, the state budget signed by the Governor this year invests an additional $150 million, bringing total Homekey funding to $3.75 billion.

“Homekey has been one of our most effective and catalytic affordable housing supply solutions,” said BCSH Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramírez. “Thanks to Governor Newsom’s vision, in 24 months, we designed a hotels-to-housing national model, mobilized technical assistance and marshaled historic housing resources. The state brought together housing providers, social service organizations, residents and local leaders to create over 12,500 places that people exiting homelessness can call home. This is an incredible example of good government responding with compassion, speed and transformative solutions.”

Governor Newsom today also announced $47 million in housing grants to create more residential care options for seniors and adults with disabilities, including people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. These grants are the first to be awarded through the new Community Care Expansion (CCE) – Capital Expansions Grants Program administered by the California Department of Social Services to help address historic gaps in the state’s behavioral health and long-term care continuum.

The Governor’s multibillion-dollar homeless housing investments will provide more than 55,000 new housing units and treatment slots in the coming years. Building on last year’s historic $12 billion investment to help get the most vulnerable people off the streets, the state budget this year invests an additional $3 billion in behavioral health housing, homeless emergency aid, and encampment rehousing strategies, creating a total $15 billion package.

“In just two years, Homekey has facilitated the creation of 12,500 interim and permanent homes for our most at-risk Californians. In this program, HCD continues implementing systemic changes to address both the urgent need to shelter people and to progress toward our Statewide Housing Plan goal for more affordable housing for lower-income and unhoused residents who are disproportionately people of color,” said HCD Director Gustavo Velasquez. “State and local collaboration has been key throughout these two years, and we must continue to use Homekey as a model to accelerate production and affirmatively further fair housing.”

Today’s Homekey awards include the following projects:
