It looks like business as usual tomorrow for power in California. At 7:30pm on Monday PG&E used up all the interruptiable hours in power contracts for the entire year. Customers with interruptible power contracts no longer must shed load. PG&E will have to treat all customers "equally," and start dropping firm loads if appeals for voluntary conservation efforts don't work. At Midnight, the emergency order signed by the Clinton administration's DOE Secretary Richardson expires. So far the Bush administration's DOE secretary has not signed a new order covering generators in the western USA. California ISO says "customer outages likely Tuesday morning." A press conference has been scheduled at 7:30am. Involuntary outages may start as early as 7am on Tuesday morning. Have any Internet providers or private data centers announced any voluntary "good neighbor" measures such as wider temperature and humdity limits, lights-out operation, off-peak use of heavy electrical demands for laser printers, etc.
