Case context
The rolling blackout risk identified by the utility resource planners affects the broader public, not only the organization. Engineer A must assess whether the public welfare impact of the solar transition decision requires notification beyond the organizational board to regulatory or public authorities.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.79
Importance

Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to evaluate whether the rolling blackout risk — which affects not only the organization but the broader public served by the electric utility — rises to a level requiring escalation beyond the organizational board report to appropriate regulatory or public authorities, and to take such escalation steps if the risk to public welfare warrants it after calibrated assessment.
Temporal scope
After completing the calibrated risk assessment and before or concurrent with submitting the board report
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A also realizes that a move to solar production without storage may stress the local utility generation mix even more, increasing the likelihood of rolling blackouts.
Text references
Engineer A also realizes that a move to solar production without storage may stress the local utility generation mix even more, increasing the likelihood of rolling blackouts.
Engineer A learns that the utility resource planners reviewed their current generation mix and believe that during extreme weather events, they may be forced to institute rolling outages to keep system generating facilities on-line.
