Temperatures in the Northwest are once again colder than expected, meaning there are practically no electricity imports from that region, the ISO's Stephanie McCorkle said. About 8,500 megawatts remain off the power grid, as has been the case for several days, McCorkle said. The ISO currently has a request out for bids for up to 5,000 MW of out-of-state power. Recent requests have been between 3,000 MW to 4,000 MW. The ISO's Tuesday stage two emergency, which means power reserves are below 5%, was precipitated by a unit off line at the Intermountain Power Agency in Utah. That plant provides about 840 MW of generation to California and Utah municipal utilities, and about 840 MW to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which in turn can sell the power to the ISO. -By Jessica Berthold, Dow Jones Newswires; 323-658-3872.
