And, likely, ALL are aware of the potential limitations on available power?
Do they have some plan already in place to PROMPTLY notify residents of
an URGENT need to conserve?  I.e., so they can react fast enough to

Presumably, enlarging the lakes would allow for additional "surplus"
to be captured?
