PG&E Power Shutoffs Planned in North Bay, Northern California – NBC Bay Area

According to the Napa County Sheriff's Office, PG&E plans to shut off power to dozens of customers in Napa County on Monday as part of its public safety power shutoff program.

The utility will shut off power to 143 customers in northwest Napa County, north of Tubbs Road, starting at 6 p.m. Monday and will be out until 7 a.m. Tuesday, the sheriff's office said on social media.

A community resource center for Napa County residents will be open Monday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 1307 Washington St. in Calistoga.

According to the National Weather Service, a heat advisory is in effect for the entire Bay Area from Monday morning through Wednesday night. Kari Hall and Bob Redell report.

PG&E told NBC Bay Area that it has not yet confirmed the closure described by the Napa County Sheriff's Office and has not yet made that decision.

In the Bay Area, notices of possible PSPS outages were sent Saturday to 57 customers in Alameda County, 286 in Contra Costa County, 140 in Napa County and 11 in Sonoma County, PG&E said.

PG&E says planned PSPS outages are subject to change depending on timing and weather changes.

“We are seeing some very high temperatures combined with some gusty winds. These, along with other factors, are often the factors that can combine to create a wildfire risk,” said PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian.

The utility began PSPS outages early Monday as planned, affecting hundreds of customers in Butte and Shasta counties, PG&E said.
