He started with an apology. The level of reliability that youve seen in and around the danville area over the over the summer has not been acceptable. Johnson says one possible reason for the outages is that two substations that supply power to danville had broken equipment in june, and all those customers were diverted to a third substation with that heavier loading and all three circuits. Yes, we did have some equipment give out. Another reason, he said, is the eps or enhanced powerline safety settings, which are designed to shut off power to a line if a tree, animal or other failure is detected. Because of the work that we were doing in this area, we had a lot of circuits connected together and it made it harder for us to isolate those high wildfire areas into small pockets. We put in a request with pga to get specific data on danville outages. They told us their records show the danville area had 31 outages from june through august. In 22 outages. Crews determined the cause was equipment failure. Animal contact or vegetation. In nine of the outages, the cause is unknown or still under investigation. Resin points say they want solutions.
