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. Otherwise, this market resolves "No".This market resolves "Yes" if the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) 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 CT on September 30, 2026.

Otherwise, this market resolves "No".Elevated summer electricity demand driven by above-average cooling degree days remains the dominant factor shaping grid stress through September 2026, according to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s May 2026 Summer Reliability Assessment and EIA short-term outlooks. NERC identifies elevated risk under extreme conditions in NPCC-New England, WECC-Northwest, and localized western ERCOT transmission constraints, with peak demand projected to rise 1.3% year-over-year amid 58 GW of new capacity additions. Recent Department of Energy emergency orders and record peaks in PJM and MISO during July heat waves illustrate how wide-area high temperatures can rapidly tighten operating reserves. Late-season heat events or storms through early fall could still trigger alerts, though seasonal cooling typically eases pressure after August peaks; traders monitor updated NERC alerts and EIA demand forecasts for shifts.
