Residents apparently jumped into action within minutes of receiving a text that urged them to save energy.<\/p>\n A remarkably severe and long-lasting heatwave has put increasing pressure on the state\u2019s power grid since last week<\/a>. Record-smashing<\/a> temperatures in the triple digits have sent power demand for air conditioning<\/a> soaring. <\/p>\n By Tuesday, demand hit an all-time high<\/a> for the Golden State at 52,061 megawatts, according to grid manager California Independent System Operator (CAISO). CAISO issued<\/a> a level 3 Energy Emergency Alert, its highest alert<\/a>, at 5:17PMET that night. It signaled that rotating power outages could be imminent with energy supplies so thinly stretched.<\/p>\n
