Hey , when you use less energy during a Flex Alert, you help your neighbors and community by easing strain on the grid. Now that's a win-win! When a Flex Alert is called from 4-9 PM during summer heatwaves, reducing your energy use keeps California powered up and protects vulnerable neighbors like seniors and residents with disabilities. It's easy, free, and makes a real difference. For details, visit energyupgradeca.org/flex-alert.
