With an intense heat wave bearing down across California throughout the Labor Day weekend, the state’s grid operator has issued a Flex Alert calling on electricity consumers to voluntarily conserve energy so that the demand for power does not outstrip supply.

The Flex Alert will be in place statewide from Saturday through Monday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. each day.
