Service Request #4: How Does the Grid in Phoenix Work?
Angie Bond-Simpson, SRP resource planner, and Gretchen Bakke, anthropologist and grid author, unpack how Phoenix keeps power flowing when extreme heat makes outages dangerous. They trace electricity from plant to plug. They explore the Western Grid, real-time balancing at 60 hertz, day-ahead forecasting, and why balloons, crashes, and brutal heat can threaten a city’s fragile margin for error.
