After a massive heat wave in California that led grid operator CAISO to order its first rolling blackouts since the 2001 energy crisis on Friday and Saturday, the state has thus far managed to avoid further forced outages. Several out-of-state power grids also reported emergency conditions on Monday and Tuesday.
