Business Wire, March 30, 2005
FOLSOM, Calif. -- The California ISO Summer Assessment for 2005 predicts there should be adequate energy supplies to meet a growing demand for power, but reserve margins may narrow substantially if there is an unusual heat wave or other adverse conditions. Consumers are encouraged to conserve electricity during peak periods this summer.
