SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — As California deals with its worst energy crisis in two decades and the threat of more rolling blackouts, a lot of people are wondering who -- or what -- is to blame.Energy experts say last weekend’s blackouts are raising new questions about the way the state manages its electrical grid. California is the only state in the west that uses an independent system operator, an entity known as Cal ISO.“This is really just a demonstration that the reliability of the grid is less reliable with [Cal ISO] than when we just had regular utilities,” said San Diego-based energy consultant Bill Powers.Cal ISO manages 80 percent of California’s power grid. It manages the flow of electricity for investor-owned utilities like an air traffic controller manages the flow of privately owned airplanes down a runway. City-owned utilities like the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are not part of the Cal ISO system.Cal ISO, previously known as CAISO, was formed in 1998 after regulatory changes during the Clinton administration that were designed to make the energy market more competitive.Powers said the fundamental idea was simple: “instead of having these monopoly utilities controlling everything, let's open up the transmission systems.”But it didn’t take long for flaws in the system to emerge. In 2001, market manipulation from companies like Enron prompted dozens of rolling blackouts.In other states like Arizona, utilities are responsible for the electrical transmission within their service territory. Those utilities are able to rapidly respond if conditions prompt the need for additional power generation, Powers said.“[It’s] one-stop shopping. Here it’s two-stop shopping,” he said. “You've got another layer of fat in there. And if that layer of fat is playing the game a different way, simply making sure everyone is covered, then you have the potential to have a breakdown. And we're now experiencing a breakdown.”The most recent major breakdown was in 2011, when 1.4 million San Diegans suddenly found themselves in the dark.A federal investigation into the Great Blackout of 2011 cited “inadequate real-time situational awareness” -- basically bad grid management -- and faulted several entities, including Cal ISO.Edward Lopez, the executive director of the Utility Consumers’ Action Network, said last weekend’s rolling blackouts were another example of bad grid management.“This is an indication that, again, this statewide organization needs to be better prepared and ready to jump into action quicker,” he said.Cal ISO blames another state agency for the recent rolling blackouts, the California Public Utilities Commission, along with California’s evolving energy portfolio.About one-third of the energy California now generates in-state is from renewable sources like solar and wind. When clouds roll in and the winds subside, that can be a problem.“Lack of resources, the heat, those go into account,” Lopez said, “but on the other hand, this was not unpredictable.”Even though more Californians have been staying home due to the pandemic, last weekend’s conditions were not particularly remarkable, he said. With the impact of climate change, above normal temperatures are expected to become more common.One solution to California’s renewable energy problem, he said, is to invest in more energy storage.Cal ISO’s own data shows energy demand last weekend was lower than in previous peak years and there were reserves available, Powers said.“Why do we keep reserves if we’re not willing to use those reserves when conditions get tight?” Powers said.City-owned utilities like LADWP that are independent from Cal ISO did not experience rolling blackouts, one reason Powers thinks there’s a problem with California’s energy air traffic controller.“Maybe we need better rules. Maybe we need a different system,” he said. 3871

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- As the nation continues to process what happened during the first presidential debate, many are expressing frustration about what didn’t happen.Local and national Latino American leaders are calling out the moderator and the candidates for making no mention of the millions of Latinos in the country.Just moments after the debate ended Tuesday night, organizations like the National Association of Hispanic Journalists shared a series of tweets highlighting that Latinos were not mentioned during the debate.According to the Pew Research Center, more than 32 million Latino voters are eligible to vote in November.Voters like Denisse Roldan Newell wanted to hear more from both candidates about their policies on a range of issues.“It's not just immigration, it's not just the border wall, it's having to do with economics, with smalls business development, with affordable health care, with education,” said Roldan Newell.Roberto Alcantar with the Chicano Federation told ABC 10News it was concerning that the candidates made no mention about COVID-19 and it’s disproportionate affect on the Latino community.In San Diego, Latinos make up 34% of the population but 65% of COVID-19 cases."These are not just Latino issues, these are issues for all of us as American. While, yes, we are Latinos, we are American and our issues are America’s issues," said Alcantar. Locally, Latino leaders like Roldan Newell and Alcantar hope the debate organizers and moderators to make a change before the next debate.The next debate is between the vice presidential candidates on Wednesday, October 7th. 1616

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - As the Valley Fire raged across parts of eastern San Diego County, emergency assistance workers put into action plans they'd been working on for months to handle the dual disaster of a wildfire during a pandemic."It completely changed our approach," says Red Cross Regional CEO Sean Mahoney.The Red Cross has been planning and training for months, knowing this situation would likely arise this fall.Mahoney says their plan included Temporary Evacuation Points instead of group shelters, hotel rooms for people who needed somewhere to stay, grab and go or delivery meals, and an emphasis on sanitation and health screenings to keep volunteers and evacuees safe."We planned for this as much as we possibly could, but exercise is just an exercise. Doing the real thing is where you have those real lessons learned," Mahoney says.During the Valley Fire, the Red Cross assisted 440 people in 174 families. They served around 9,000 meals and snacks.Mahoney says his staff's dedication, along with 107 volunteers who worked 12-hour shifts, helped things go smoothly.But not everything went according to plan. On the first night of evacuations, the Red Cross ran out of hotel rooms, especially for people who had pets. Some evacuees without RVs had to sleep in their cars.Mahoney says the busy Labor Day Weekend, combined with hotel capacity restrictions because of the coronavirus, leads to fewer available rooms.To make sure it doesn't happen again, Mahoney says the Red Cross is already working on backup plans to open limited group shelters, with social distancing put in place to keep people apart. He told 10News they've already scouted hundreds of locations around San Diego.Meanwhile, the San Diego Humane Society also put in new protocols for safety during the pandemic. They helped hundreds of animals during the Valley Fire, and say the most significant challenges were limiting contact with owners and making sure their field teams followed the rules about distancing and wearing masks."The more people you interact with, the more likely you are to come in contact with somebody who is transmitting coronavirus," says Lt. John Peaveler. "So, we've had our biggest safety precautions on that side."Both groups say they'll take all the Valley Fire experience and put it to use in the next disaster. Since wildfire season is just beginning, they're sure it will come in handy. 2405

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Coronavirus hospitalizations in San Diego continue to climb, prompting at least one medical system to begin plans to accommodate a surge in patients.As of Thursday, Scripps Health reported that it had 126 COVID-19 patients, up one patient from Wednesday. It also reported two coronavirus-related deaths in 24 hours. Scripps Health is moving forward with its virus patient surge plan by hiring more staff and converting more beds.“We've been staffing up dramatically and our engineers have been preparing for surge which we anticipate [requiring] given the direction hospitalizations are going in San Diego,” says Scripps Health CEO Chris Van Gorder.He says the majority of patients are still in the South Bay hospitals. Their teams have been transferring patients from Scripps Chula Vista and Scripps Mercy to the northern hospitals to avoid reaching capacity in the ICUs.“Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla is 95% occupied in the Intensive Care Unit and Mercy San Diego is 91% [occupied],” he adds.The number of positive tests in the northern hospitals is also rising, he says. “About three days ago, we had six patients within a 24-hour period of time [that had] to be admitted at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas and so their census has doubled over the last week,” he added.San Diego County reported on Wednesday that over a several-week span, hospitalizations were down but had increased in the past two weeks with the most recent daily count being 38 new admissions on Tuesday.The County’s statistics show that we are still far off from reaching bed-capacity.The federal field hospital set up at Palomar Hospital in Escondido continues to sit empty. A hospital spokesperson reported that there's no current plan that they're aware of to use it.According to Palomar Health, “We have seen an increase in patients over the last three-four weeks. Our Emergency Department Director says we have seen a noticeable increase in younger patients (20-30 year olds). However, the numbers are manageable and we still have capacity for more patients.” 2080

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- As COVID-19 cases continue to surge across California, many San Diego County businesses are struggling with the latest restrictions. Richard Bailey, mayor of Coronado, is now asking California Gov. Gavin Newsom to reconsider the latest stay-at-home order.Bailey called the order inconsistent, arbitrary, and ineffective."Shutting down businesses that are not contributing to the spread of COVID will not reduce the number of cases, will not reduce the number of hospitalizations, but it will put tens of thousands of people out of work," said Bailey.Restaurants can no longer offer outdoor dining and playgrounds are closed. Personal care services, hair salons, and barbershops are just some businesses that have to shut down for three weeks. Bailey said while COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations rising should be taken seriously, some of these closures don't make sense."We should all have a really firm understanding of what our risk level is based on our own demographics and our own underlying conditions. There's no data to support that outdoor dining is a significant risk for transmission," Bailey said.In the letter sent to Newsom on Monday, Bailey asked for a reconsideration of the latest health order based on data specific to San Diego County and a new public health strategy."We should treat citizens like adults and put in place recommendations that really emphasize all the best practices that will slow the spread," he said.Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state's Health and Human Services Secretary, explained Tuesday that only 10 percent of ICU capacity is currently available in the Southern California region, which San Diego County falls into."The transmission is now so widespread across our state that most all nonessential activities create a serious risk for transmission," said Ghaly.He said part of the regional stay-at-home order is based on our experiences with flattening the curve earlier this year and the success of other countries that implemented similar shutdowns."Belgium, when they imposed a nationwide closure, the positivity rate in just three weeks fell from 21 percent to 8 percent," said Ghaly.Bailey said there should be a better plan to slow the spread without causing significant harm to small businesses along the way."They're picking winners and losers, and unfortunately big businesses are the winners, and small businesses that can barely afford it are becoming the losers," said Bailey.In the meantime, Bailey is encouraging business owners to follow the state orders, so places like salons and restaurants don't lose state licensing."We're really just trying to help businesses be compliant to the state order," he said.Newsom has yet to respond to Bailey's letter. 2733
