PG&E is expanding its resources for customers at risk of being affected by planned power outages as California s wildfire season rages on.
Public Safety Power Shutoffs, or PSPS events, are part of PG&E s efforts to prevent wildfires that could happen if high winds cause damage to power lines. A combination of factors such as low humidity, high winds, dry material and nearby tall trees can cause PG&E to temporarily shut off power until the danger of a wildfire has passed.
PG&E has only reported one PSPS event in 2021 so far: a planned outage from Jan. 19 to 21 that impacted about 5,100 Central California residents after 83 mph wind gusts created an imminent threat of wildfire.

According to PG&E spokesperson Tamar Sarkissian, winds from an anticipated heavy storm will have the strongest effects along the coast, in the Bay Area and the Sacramanto and northern San Joaquin Valley. The storm is predicted to last in the Bay Area until Friday.
With an “atmospheric river” causing heavy rain and high winds predicted to last in the Bay Area through Friday, PG&E and the city of Berkeley issued precautions to help locals stay safe.
PG&E meteorologists predicted that the storm will affect PG&E’s service areas in Northern and central California with “gusty winds, low snow and prolonged periods of moderate to heavy rain,” according to PG&E spokesperson Tamar Sarkissian. Multiple watches and warnings were issued by the National Weather Service, including a flash flood watch in the East Bay hills through Thursday, according to a city of Berkeley press release.
