State regulators have approved the purchase of battery storage to support energy supplies in southern California, and as Aliso Canyon gas storage facilities are in trouble, energy supplies in southern California face potential shortages.
The California Public Utilities Commission hopes that Southern California Edison will speed up its plans to use batteries for power storage to help prevent potential power outages.
The Commission and other national energy agencies have warned that without Aliso Canyon field, California\'s largest natural gas storage facility, Southern California could face a power outage of up to 14 days this summer.
In addition to increasing the use of battery storage, energy agencies are urging consumers to find ways to save energy.

Jerry Brown ordered a suspension of the injection of more gas into the storage facility until it was considered safe.
To ensure safety, utilities have been checking and testing the remaining 114 wells.
However, it is not clear whether the gas still contained in the facility is available during the high demand for natural gas from power plants and residential customers.
Critics of the blackout warning argue that the state needs to seriously investigate alternatives to the use of Aliso Canyon.
They described the blackout warning as a \"threat\" to Southern California gas if the utility is not allowed to continue using the storage facility.
