California has a new alert system called Flex Your Power NOW./that is designed to help people learn how to conserve
electricity in times when power reserves are low. This will help prevent power outages and rolling blackouts. The
Energy Coalition, and its PEAK Student Energy Actions program, has partnered with Flex Your Power NOW/ help
spread awareness about the FlexNOW./alert system to California's teachers, students, and their families.
How Does the "Flex Your Power Nowt" Alert System Work?
1. The California Independent System Operator (ISO) will trigger the Flex Your Power Now! alert and notify local
radio stations and the Flex Your Power Now/team.
2. The alert will be broadcast over radio stations and disseminated using other contact systems, such as during
morning announcements at PEAK schools.
3. Californians will be asked to reduce their use of lighting, air conditioners, and major appliances until after 7 p.m.
What are the Four PEAK Student Energy Actions?
• Plugging in to New Technology
• Cutting Energy Waste
• Shifting Energy Use Off Peak Demand Times
• Planning for a Healthy Energy Future
