California is one step closer to rotating blackouts after the state’s power grid operator issued its highest-level emergency alert Tuesday evening, calling for “maximum conservation efforts” by consumers.

The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) at 5:17 p.m. on Sept. 6 issued an Energy Emergency Alert Level 3, which indicates that the grid is unable to handle the current energy demand.
