PG&E Restored Power to All affected by PSPS

UPDATE: 6 p.m., Thursday, June 11

PG&E crews have finished inspecting electric equipment and restoring power to all customers affected by the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).

UPDATE: 4 p.m., Thursday, June 11

Restoration efforts began around 9 a.m. today, with crews patrolling and restoring power steadily throughout the day. As of 4 p.m., we have restored approximately 3,000 customers in portions of the 8 counties in scope.

At this time, we anticipate that all customers within PSPS-affected areas will have power fully restored tonight.

UPDATE: 10:30 a.m., Thursday, June 11

Around 9 a.m. this morning, PG&E issued the first weather all-clear notices for portions of three counties, which were among nine counties included in the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event that began Wednesday.

The weather all-clear allows crews to begin patrols, inspect electrical equipment for wind-related damage and make any necessary repairs before safely restoring power to customers.  

PG&E expects all areas affected by this PSPS event will receive the weather all-clear by 2 p.m., allowing for inspections and restoration activities to begin. PG&E also expects the large majority of customers affected by the PSPS event will have power restored this evening. 

PG&E began proactively shutting off power for safety on Wednesday at 2 p.m., affecting nine counties and about 5,000 customers. 

Restoration steps:  

• Weather “All-Clear”: After high winds have passed, and it is safe to do so, a weather “all-clear” is issued for our crews to begin patrols and inspect electrical equipment.  
• Patrol and Inspect: Our crews visually inspect for potential weather-related damage to powerlines, poles and towers. This is done by vehicle, foot and air.   
• Isolate and Repair Damage: If crews find equipment damage, they work to isolate the damaged area from the rest of the system. Other parts of the system can then be restored.  
• Restore Power: Once the poles, towers and lines are safe to energize, our Control Center restores power to affected areas.   
• Notify Customers: We notify customers that power has been restored.  

UPDATE: 8:30 a.m., Thursday, June 11

The current Public Safety Power Shutoff de-energization impact is approximately 4,500 customers in 8 counties. We continue to monitor weather and ground conditions.

UPDATE: 6 a.m., Thursday, June 11

After monitoring weather conditions and ground conditions overnight, PG&E continued de-energizing targeted customers in small portions of Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama and Yolo counties. Current de-energization impact is approximately 3,200 customers.

UPDATE: 10 p.m., Wednesday, June 10

After monitoring weather conditions and ground conditions throughout the day and this evening, PG&E began de-energizing targeted areas at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, impacting about 500 customers. This second wave of de-energization occurred in small portions of Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Sutter and Yolo counties. 

UPDATE: 2 p.m., Wednesday, June 10

After monitoring weather conditions and ground conditions overnight, PG&E began de-energizing targeted areas at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10. The first wave of de-energization occurred in Colusa, Glenn, Tehama counties, and Grindstone Rancheria.

Additional areas could be de-energized throughout the day, based on how the weather pattern develops. This PSPS could affect approximately 5,000 customers in 9 counties in PG&E's service area.

During a PSPS, Community Resource Centers offer community members access to resources, including:   

• A safe, climate-controlled location to meet their basic power needs, such as charging medical equipment and electronic devices   
• Up-to-date information about the PSPS 
• Water, snacks, blankets, ADA-accessible restrooms and other essential items to reduce hardships to our customers 

More information on PSPS 

PG&E initiates PSPS when the fire-weather forecast is severe enough that people's safety, lives, homes and businesses may be in danger of wildfires. Our overarching goal is to stop catastrophic wildfires by proactively turning off power in targeted areas when extreme weather threatens our electric grid.

UPDATE: 11 a.m., Wednesday, June 10

PG&E continues to monitor weather conditions for a possible Public Safety Power Shutoff affecting as many as 5,000 customers in portions of nine counties and two tribal areas.

Winds have come in weaker than forecasted and are below the speeds that would trigger a shutoff. We will continue to monitor wind speeds and humidity levels and notify customers if it becomes necessary to turn off power.

It is possible that a second period of adverse weather forecasted for this evening could make shutoffs necessary.

****************************************************

PG&E is monitoring a weather pattern that could lead to targeted power shutoffs for about 5,000 customers in portions of nine counties in the North Bay, North Coast, and Western Sacramento Valley regions to reduce wildfire risk. The potential weather pattern is forecasted to enter our service area on Wednesday morning and could persist through Thursday.  This would be the second Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) of 2026.

Given the high temperature, high wind forecast, and dry vegetation conditions, PG&E has sent advanced notifications beginning on Monday evening to customers in targeted areas where PSPS could occur. The determination of whether to proactively shut off power, as well as locations of outage durations, will depend on the weather.    

Precipitation fell across portions of our territory yesterday. While measurable amounts fell in some locations, specifically along the North Coast, the nature of PG&E’s service territory means other areas sit in what is known as a "rain shadow," where topography blocks precipitation from reaching them. Unfortunately, the area we are currently considering for PSPS received miniscule amounts of rain, if any. By Wednesday morning, dry and breezy conditions will have erased any gains in dead-fuel moisture that we have seen and fuels will be critically dry and receptive to fire.

The potential PSPS event could affect approximately 5,000 customers in parts of nine counties and two tribal areas. The potentially impacted counties are Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Solano and Yolo. The federally recognized Tribes that may be impacted are Cortina Rancheria and Grindstone Rancheria. 

Support for impacted customers

PG&E will work with local officials to open Community Resource Centers in heavily affected counties. Searchable information on CRC locations will be available online at PG&E’s Outage Center. 

During a PSPS, Community Resource Centers offer community members access to resources, including:  

• A safe, climate-controlled location to meet their basic power needs, such as charging medical equipment and electronic devices
• Up-to-date information about the PSPS
• Water, snacks, blankets, ADA-accessible restrooms and other essential items to reduce hardships to our customers
• Grab-and-go bags with essential items such as water, snacks, and a PSPS information card with additional PSPS resources including where to find estimated restoration times
