Flex Alert

A Flex Alert is an urgent call to Californians to immediately conserve electricity and to shift demand to off-peak hours (after 10 p.m.).

You can:

  • Turn off unneeded lights and appliances
  • Use major appliances before 4 p.m. or after 10 p.m.
  • Adjust air conditioner to 78 degrees or higher; turn off when leaving home
  • Pull drapes and turn on fans
  • Set pool pumps for overnight cycle

What Causes Electrical Power Reserves To Be Low?

Reasons for low reserves may include:

  • High peak demand
  • Unplanned generation outages
  • Transmission line overloads, losses, or limitations that can sometimes occur as a result of fires
  • Adverse, humid, hot weather and heat storms

Please monitor the California ISO website at www.caiso.com for updated information, or contact Moreno Valley Utility at 951.413.3500 or 1-844-341-6469.

Flex Alerts are part of an educational and emergency alert program that informs consumers about how and when to conserve electricity.
