The U.S. Department of Energy has issued a directive regarding the risk of power outages due to the extreme heat. Since the beginning of summer, many parts of the United States have experienced persistent extreme heat, leading to a surge in electricity demand and grid loads exceeding peak levels in many areas. Minor power outages have already occurred in several regions. This directive from the Department of Energy aims to proactively identify potential grid hazards, coordinate emergency response plans with relevant departments, and minimize the adverse impact of power outages on daily life and social production activities.
