–PG&E is advising its residential and business customers, representatives of local agencies, and the public about plans to conduct helicopter operations next week in San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara County in preparation for – and during – scheduled emergency preparedness drills simulating a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Electricity will not be intentionally turned off during the drill, but the exercise will allow PG&E to verify its readiness in case power to certain areas must be turned off in the face of extreme wildfire ignition threat due to weather and ground conditions.
Helicopters are scheduled to fly, including at lower altitudes, on Monday, May 24 – west of Templeton and Paso Robles; on Tuesday, May 25 – east of Nipomo, including in the Huasna area; and in both areas on the day of the emergency preparedness drill – on Friday, May 28.
ST. GEORGE Rocky Mountain Power may have to shut off the electricity in certain parts of southern Utah this weekend. The company is warning customers about possible shutoffs because strong winds are making the already extreme fire conditions even worse.
So far, there is no official plan to shut off the electricity in southern Utah. However, Rocky Mountain Power spokesman David Eskelsen said the company has extra equipment on standby and crews will be patrolling the power lines to spot any signs of damage.
Eskelsen reported turning off the electricity isn t something that they really want to do. A power safety shutoff is a last resort, he said.

StockMarketWire.com - Invinity Energy Systems, manufacturer of vanadium flow batteries delivering renewable energy on demand, has announced it has entered into a contract with Webcor, a Californian construction firm, to provide a vanadium flow battery (VFB) for a project developed by Indian Energy LLC.
The project, located on a US Marine Corps base in Southern California, will couple three of Invinity s VS3 vanadium flow batteries with solar PV to provide resilience and energy security in the case of Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events, wildfires or other outages.
The Invinity system will apply recent technological advancements developed by Invinity s team to extend battery storage duration to up to ten hours with an option to operate in either grid-connected or off-grid modes. This ensures round-the-clock energy resiliency for the site while reducing overall energy costs through demand shaving and Time of Use (TOU) energy shifting.
