Geez they could fricking warn the public beforehand if possible.
Highly doubt they can predict exactly when a substation wants to put on a fireworks show.

what is a MISO ?
They control all the mid-continent power balance. You dont want too much power, you don't want not enough.
So power flows over.multiple states in some crazy form of balance.
Problem comes if multiple assets go offline at or near the same time, of.if they grossly underestimate power needs. Then shedding happens.
Power can't be stored and it is hard to ramp up/down to meet strange demands.

Renewables are extremely predictable. They should be be core/base power supply, but that is a whole other tangent not dealing with this.

So are coal burning plants. Color me skeptical.

You do realize you store the entergy from renewables and then deploy when needed?

Not enough generation to handle the load. Doesn’t help that Waterford 3 is in a refueling outage. That’s your baseload for the area. MISO makes the call and entergy has to comply. Cleco has likely gotten the same instructions. They also have generation but no nuclear. And much of their load is rural.

So much fun when PT knuckleheads visit us on the OT

MISO covers a huge area. Why is the NOLA area being singled out to shed the load.
The same thing has been happening recently in NWLA with the Southwest Power Pool. The SPP also covers a huge area, but areas in Shreveport/Bossier have been the victim and their power cut on pleasant Spring days when there’s no storms or unseasonable heat.

The neighborhoods chosen can't be a coincidence.

They do not buy from entergy. That’s not really how it works anymore anyway. MISO has a day-ahead and realtime market. You’re not buying from specific companies anymore. Co-ops and large industrial sites can have contracts though. Cleco has a lot of plants now. Big Cajun I and II, Cottonwood, and others.

Who is flaring?
I could see the black smoke from Slidell on the Twin Spans.
