started today with block 5 (who got only a short outage yesterday) - as well as 6 & 7 per http://www.sfgate.com/ "About 400,000 PG&E customers in widely scattered areas known as blocks 5, 6 and 7 were affected first, around 9:50 a.m., a PG&E spokesman said. There was a possibility the outages could shift to blocks 8, 9 and 10 later in the morning.' Lucy E.

Block 4 -- according to PG&E, block 5 starts the list today, and although I haven't paid attention to the clock yet, they may be on block 6 now. www.pge.com or www.caiso.com for more info. --mec
My take on this is the following. Despite exploding population in CA, power plants haven't been brought into production in like a decade. A couple new ones are supposed to open this summer. Also, this is not really true deregulation, if it were CA power companies would be able to enter into longer term contracts with any supplier they wished.. Brian "Wheres the common sense" Whalen
According to the PG&E website, blocks 5, 6, 7, & 8 are likely to suffer rolling outages today (1/18). --Lloyd On Thu, 18 Jan 2001, Zaid Ali wrote:
