We understand the increasing struggles businesses are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. PG&E remains committed to providing ways for our business customers to save energy and money during this difficult time.
If gusty winds and dry conditions, combined with a heightened fire risk, are forecasted to threaten a portion of the electric system, it may be necessary for us to turn off electricity for safety. This is called a "Public Safety Power Shutoff" ("PSPS").
Be prepared—a shutoff could last several days.
Power outages can happen anytime. Consider these critical factors when deciding whether you need backup power for your business.
