PG&E Plans Power Shutoffs in Northern California

News summary

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) is planning public safety power shutoffs (PSPS) affecting up to 13,455 customers across 13 Northern California counties from September 30 to October 1 due to elevated wildfire risks from high winds and dry conditions. The shutoffs are part of PG&E's proactive measures to prevent wildfires, given the utility's history with fire-related liabilities. Affected counties include Butte, Colusa, Alameda, Contra Costa, Shasta, Napa, Sonoma, and Tehama, with Shasta and Tehama expected to see the largest number of outages. PG&E has set up 14 community resource centers providing essentials like restrooms, device charging, and WiFi. Concurrently, the Bay Area and Central Coast are under a heat advisory through Wednesday, adding to the region’s fire risk.
