Friday August 14th, 2020 5:00PM – The ongoing heat wave in California resulted in the California ISO power authority declaring a Stage 3 emergency and directing utilities across the state to implement rolling power outages this weekend.
Pacific Gas & Electric interrupted service to more than 220,000 customers in the Bay Area alone Friday evening. Similarly, rolling power outages were also implemented in Southern California. The ongoing heat wave means the risk isn’t over. For instance, on Saturday, CAL ISO already warned of continued power emergencies.
APT helps our clients prepare for outages with standby generators distributed at critical locations controlled and monitored from on site operations centers. Moreover, these generation assets can transfer critical loads proactively without interruption to maintain business processes.
Just last year California suffered numerous rotating outages due to wildfire risks, and this year the fire season is just starting.
APT’s specialty is helping our clients monitor and control their own power distribution, including backup power sources. For more than twenty five years we have been a trusted partner for businesses large and small.
So, if you want to proactively know and control what happens to your critical loads, contact us for more information. This is our business!
