May 8, 2001 To: The Campus Community From: Public Information Office Re: Conserve electricity Late this morning, the California Independent System Operator issued a Stage 2 electricity alert for today (Tuesday, May 8). The ISO is urging more conservation this afternoon in order to avoid a Stage 3 alert and rolling blackouts--as happened Monday afternoon for about an hour. Peak demand is expected at around 4 p.m. PG&E has indicated that blackouts, if they occur today, will begin with customers in Block 14. If necessary, Blocks 1 and 2 will follow. If UCSC, most of which is in Block 4, is subject to a blackout today or at some time in the future, the campus will remain open during the outage. Please do your part to conserve electricity and avoid rolling blackouts. For more information, go to http://www.ucsc.edu/resources/energy/ or you may call 459-INFO.
