Las Vegas Rolling Blackout

Its not just California. Las Vegas Nevada had a rolling blackout on Monday. Nevada Power needed to shed approximately 100 Megawatts of power (10,000 customers) when heat and maintenance outages at power plants lead to power shortages. Casinos and other large power consumers were requested to shed 50 megawatts of load. In better news New York City believes it has added enough peaker plants, so NYC will not have power shortages this summer. However, as a representative of the Edison Institute pointed in 1999, no electricity consumer should assume power will never fail (double negative).
