Natural gas shortage could cause rolling blackouts in Southern California

California regulators and utility executives are staring down a natural-gas shortage in the Los Angeles area that could trigger up to two weeks of electrical blackouts this summer.

The state’s electric grid operator warned Friday that it may call for emergency reductions in electricity use on Monday and Tuesday, when a heat wave in Southern California is expected to push up demand for air conditioning. Without conservation, officials fear power plants could run out of fuel and trigger rolling blackouts.

Though the U.S. is awash in natural gas, the L.A. region is short of the fuel due to the massive gas leak last winter at the state’s largest underground gas-storage facility, Aliso Canyon, an event that displaced thousands of people in the nearby Porter Ranch neighborhood.
