The DGS Real Estate Services Division will alert departments, universities, and community colleges when the CAISO declares a Stage 1, 2, or 3 Electrical Emergency and when those Stages are cancelled.

This table contains links to documents that provide detailed instructions on controlling energy usage. The energy management practices of all state agencies should conform to these procedures.

State agencies should print a copy of these procedures and incorporate them in departmental Emergency Plans in order to be prepared for an electrical emergency.

Based on operational needs, some departments may need to employ conservation measures that are more or less restrictive. Department energy management personnel must communicate department-specific instructions to the appropriate staff.
