Ilanga litshona emva kweentambo zombane eRosemead ngoMvulo phakathi kwamaza obushushu bexesha lokuqala.
Ngezigidi zabantu baseCarlifonia abaza kufumana amaza obushushu kwiintsuku ezizayo, umsebenzisi wegridi yamandla karhulumente ukhuphe isilumkiso esibiza abahlali ukuba bawonge umbane.

(CAISO)ikhuphe i-Flex Alert yelizwe lonke, ikhuthaza abantu ukuba banciphise ukusebenzisa kwabo umbane ukusuka kwi-5pm PT ukuya kwi-10 pm PT ngoLwesine ukuphepha ukunqongophala kombane.
Xa kukho uxinzelelo kwigridi yamandla, imfuno yombane ikhupha umthamo kunye nokucima kombane kunokwenzeka ngakumbi,
I-CAISOwatsho kwingxelo yeendaba.
“Uncedo lukawonke-wonke lubalulekile xa imozulu embi kakhulu okanye ezinye izinto ezingaphaya kwamandla ethu zibeka uxinzelelo olungafanelekanga kwigridi yombane,”
I-CAISOUmongameli kunye ne-CEO u-Elliot Mainzer uthe.“Silibonile ifuthe elikhulu elenzeka xa abathengi bengena kwaye banciphise ukusebenzisa kwabo amandla.Intsebenziswano yabo inokwenza umahluko ngokwenene.”
Abahlali baseCalifornia banokunceda ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kwigridi yamandla ngokuseta i-thermostats ukuya kwii-78 degrees okanye ngaphezulu, ukuphepha ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo eziphambili, ukucima izibane ezingeyomfuneko, ukusebenzisa abalandeli ukupholisa endaweni yokupholisa umoya, kunye nokukhupha izinto ezingasetyenziswanga,

Ngaphambi kokuba iFlex Alert iqale ukusebenza ngoLwesine,
I-CAISOabathengi abacetyiswayo bapholise amakhaya abo kwangaphambili, bahlawule izixhobo zombane kunye nezithuthi, kwaye basebenzise izixhobo zombane ezikhulu.
Uninzi lwabahlali bangaphakathi kunye nentlango kulo lonke ilizwe bakhuphe izilumkiso zobushushu obugqithisileyo kule veki, kwaye ezinye iingingqi zifikelela kwinani eliphindwe kathathu, ngokwedatha yemozulu yelizwe lonke.
Urhuluneli uGavin Newsom ubhengeze imeko engxamisekileyo yamaza obushushu ngoLwesine ukuba "akhulule amandla ongezelelweyo," ngokutsho kweofisi yerhuluneli.
Isibhengezo, sicaphula "ingozi enkulu" kubahlali bokhuseleko ngenxa yelanga lobushushu, inqumamisa iimfuno zokuvumela ukuvumela ukusetyenziswa ngokukhawuleza kweejeneretha zamandla ezincedisayo ukunceda ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kwigridi yamandla karhulumente.

Amanye amazwe aseNtshona, kubandakanya iArizona kunye neNew Mexico, afumana ubunzima kwiigridi zabo zamandla ngenxa yeemeko zobushushu obugqithisileyo,
I-CAISOwatsho.
E-Texas, umbutho ojongene nobukhulu begridi yamandla karhulumente ucele abahlali ukuba balondoloze amandla amaninzi kangangoko kule veki, njengoko amaqondo obushushu apho nawo abeka uxinzelelo kwimithombo.
