Extreme summer heat has driven record electricity demand across major U.S. grids, prompting multiple Department of Energy Section 202(c) emergency orders in 2026 for regions including PJM and SPP to authorize backup generation, curtail large loads such as data centers, and relax environmental limits ahead of potential Energy Emergency Alerts (EEAs). NERC’s 2026 Summer Reliability Assessment indicates adequate resources under normal conditions but flags elevated shortfall risks during extreme temperatures, compounded by high data center loads and variable renewables. As of mid-August, SPP recently ended an EEA1 and shifted to a Conservative Operations Advisory through August 13, while other operators report normal conditions. With peak demand season waning, late-season heat waves or unexpected plant outages before October 1 remain the key variables that could trigger further alerts.

This market resolves "Yes" if the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which operates the electric grid serving most of California, declares a NERC Energy Emergency Alert at Level 2 (EEA-2) or Level 3 (EEA-3) at any point from this market's creation through 11:59 PM PT on September 30, 2026.
A lower EEA-1 declaration does not qualify. A declaration qualifies as long as it happened before the deadline, even if it is only documented or reported afterward. A DOE Section 202(c) emergency order is not a NERC EEA declaration and does not qualify. Because Energy Emergency Alerts are federally reportable, a qualifying declaration is also verifiable through mandatory NERC or U.S. Department of Energy records (DOE Form OE-417, published at https://www.oe.netl.doe.gov/oe417.aspx) even if no other source captures it.
The declaration will be confirmed by any official CAISO communication — its newsroom (https://www.caiso.com/about/news), market notices, or real-time system-condition (Today's Outlook) postings — or by credible national news reporting. It qualifies as long as the declaration itself happened before the deadline, even if it is only documented or reported afterward.

"Central US" in the title is a general label — only an SPP declaration counts, and emergencies in other central-U.S. grid operators do not qualify.
