Davis has signed long-term contracts to provide California with reliable 
energy, the deals haven't yet taken effect. Some suppliers won't start 
providing electricity until the state reaches a so-far elusive agreement to 
help the utilities pay off billions in debt by buying their transmission 
lines. 
Assembly Republican Leader Bill Campbell, R-Villa Park, said that the effort 
to resolve the "state's energy crisis was floundering in the midst of unpaid 
bills, stalled negotiations and rolling blackouts." 
Tuesday began with 29 percent of California's power supply off line, mostly 
from generating plants suddenly down for unscheduled maintenance. About 3,000 
megawatts was missing from so-called qualifying facilities, or small power 
producers who have not been paid $1.8 billion by cash-strapped utilities and 
say they can't afford to operate. Davis said he would ask the PUC to order 
utilities to begin paying the qualifying facilities for any energy supplied 
beginning April 1, but the payments would not apply to the outstanding debt. 
Some smaller producers threatened to force Edison into involuntary bankruptcy 
if they are not paid soon. 
Blackouts began Tuesday two hours earlier than on Monday, as the ISO called 
on utilities to dump 500 megawatts. It was only the second day of blackouts 
for Southern California, but the fourth for Northern California since 
January. 
The Disney Resort, which includes Disneyland and the new California 
Adventure, voluntarily cut back one megawatt of electricity on Monday and 
again Tuesday, said Anaheim Public Utilities. 
All of the reductions were in backstage areas not seen by guests, said Disney 
spokeswoman Chela Castano-Lenahan. 
In other workplaces, people tried to make do. 
Flashlight beams bobbed in aisles at a Target in Santa Ana, where the power 
stopped at 10:30 a.m. Workers escorted customers, who continued shopping and 
made their purchases at battery-powered cash registers. Customers were 
eventually asked to leave when the batteries ran low. 
"Oh well; no soda, no sunglasses," said one woman as she headed back to her
