The threat of rolling blackouts eased Monday afternoon as a combination of power conservation, shutting off power to some customers on interruptible contracts and purchase of power from an unnamed Canadian power producer were enough to keep electricity supplies sufficiently ahead of demand in California as temperatures soared into the 80s and 90s. He says conservation resulted in cutting demand by about 150 megawatts of power. The Canadian supplier, whose name was not disclosed, added 1,600 megawatts of power by the afternoon, he says. The power to them was off for up to six hours.
Interruptible customers agree to have the power cut in exchange for lower rates.
