As extreme heat grips much of the country, some power grids may struggle to keep up with rising energy demand. But that is not the only challenge grid operators face in this heatwave.

"Power grids supplied largely by renewable sources experience lower intensity blackouts." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 7 November 2024. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 11 / 241106171849.htm>.

These security flaws could let hackers take over solar power systems. This could put entire power grids at risk. Hackers could cause blackouts, change energy prices, or even damage the solar systems.

These storms are caused by huge bursts of energy from the Sun, called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can damage satellites, power systems, and communication networks.
