Case context
Engineer A is evaluating the solar without storage option, which utility resource planners have indicated may increase the likelihood of rolling blackouts during extreme weather events similar to those recently experienced in California and Texas.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence

Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to explicitly identify and disclose in the board report the foreseeable impact of increased rolling blackout probability on vulnerable populations — including elderly individuals, confined individuals, and those with medical conditions — who depend on continuous electric supply for health and safety during extreme weather events.
Temporal scope
At the time of preparing and delivering the board report on the energy system replacement proposal
Source Evidence
Source text
It is not difficult to imagine, for example, the stress placed upon elderly or confined individuals as well as those with medical conditions if they are left without a comfortable environment during an extreme weather event such as California and Texas recently experienced - and which led to rolling blackouts.

Text references
But this option may also increase the likelihood of future rolling blackouts.
