A Flex Alert is a call for consumers to voluntarily conserve electricity when there is a predicted shortage of energy supply, especially if the grid operator needs to dip into reserves to cover demand. When consumers reduce electricity use at critical times, it can prevent more dire emergency measures, including possible power outages.
During the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, the ISO is following a robust business continuity plan designed to maintain reliable operation of the power grid and protect staff and stakeholders. The ISO also remains committed to its ideals of transparency and its role as a technical resource.
