"California signs contracts for back-up electricity" would be more accurate.This might come as a surprise to you, but we've been importing energy for many years. July 1, 2021 Joint Statement from the CPUC President Marybel Batjer, CEC Chair David Hochschild, and California ISO CEO Elliot Mainzer on decision to procure additional energy resources for summer California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) President Marybel Batjer, California Energy Commission (CEC) Chair David Hochschild, and California Independent System Operator (ISO) CEO Elliot Mainzer released the following joint statement regarding the California ISO’s action to secure additional energy resources to ensure electricity reliability this summer. Summer has barely begun and we have already had repeated extreme heat events creating dangerous conditions and shattering records across the country. Climate change is here and with increasing intensity that presents a host of new challenges we must collectively meet head-on. As a result of these unprecedented climate change-driven heat events, which are occurring throughout the West in combination with drought conditions that reduce hydroelectric capacity, California is using all available tools to increase electricity reliability this summer. The CPUC, the CEC and the ISO have all taken significant steps in recent months to better prepare our electric grid for this new climate reality and that work is ongoing. As part of this effort, the ISO has decided to exercise its authority to procure additional capacity again this year. The ISO’s action is supported by a request by the CPUC and CEC and is taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure electric reliability and preserve the public health and safety of all Californians. The ISO has used this authority before, most recently during last summer’s regional heat waves. It is an important part of our tool kit and an essential backstop to ensure a balance of demand and supply on California’s electric grid. As these early heat events telegraph, the grid will be more strained than anticipated this summer due to record-breaking climate change impacts across the West and elsewhere. The ISO’s decision to seek additional capacity is another necessary step we can take to be adequately prepared. Letter follows caiso.com
