As we move into the next grid crisis for California you may want to watch:

<div class=""><br class="">

<div class=""><a href="http://www.caiso.com/Documents/california-iso-issues-flex-alert-for-today-aug-31.pdf" class="">http://www.caiso.com/Documents/california-iso-issues-flex-alert-for-today-aug-31.pdf</a></div>

<div class=""><br class="">

</div>

<div class=""><a href="http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/prices.html" class="">http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/prices.html</a></div>

<div class=""><br class="">

</div>

<div class="">Note that prices are typically $30/MW during the day, but earlier today, prices spiked to about 10 times that or even higher.</div>

<div class=""><br class="">

</div>

<div class="">We hope that they will be able to handle it gracefully.  Note that they now have 3 GW of batteries reported to be supplying the grid during peak demand times.  These are the days when having more energy storage would be good. </div>
