The federal government has issued an emergency order affecting a power grid serving approximately 65 million people from October 13–16.
Unseasonably warm temperatures, rising electricity demand, and planned power plant outages are placing additional strain on the grid, prompting emergency measures to increase available power generation and help prevent widespread outages. This is another reminder of why reliable, affordable energy and a strong, diverse energy supply matter.
