PG&E 🟦
PG&E has a plan to prevent and respond to heat-related power outages. We encourage you to have a plan for possible outages and above all else, staying safe during the heat.
A major summer heat wave is starting on Tuesday with temperatures reaching above 100 degrees in many parts of Northern and Central California. PG&E is taking steps now to help reduce energy demand on the grid, maintain reliability and keep our communities safe.
PG&E is using outage prediction models to determine the potential timing, location, and number of power outages. This allows us to position crews and personnel in areas with a higher potential for heat-related outages. We have electric restoration crews and troublemen working across our service area, ready to respond and restore power quickly and safely, with additional personnel on standby.
