PG&E customers in Alameda, Contra Costa, and Santa Clara counties are facing potential power shutoffs as high winds and dry conditions create wildfire risks this weekend. A fire in San Jose is now contained, but with temperatures soaring over 90 degrees in certain areas, the likelihood of additional wildfires suggests proactive measures by PG&E. The utility plans to initiate outages as early as Thursday across multiple counties, but specific locations will only be disclosed two days prior. This could impact residents significantly during the upcoming high-risk weather conditions.
Firefighters in San Jose have successfully contained a 92-acre fire, but the risk of more wildfires due to high winds and dry conditions has prompted PG&E to announce possible power shutoffs.
This weekend is forecasted to bring the warmest temperatures in weeks across the Bay Area, raising wildfire risks and leading to potential PG&E power shutoffs in several counties.
Though Santa Clara County is currently excluded from the Sunday shutoff list, PG&E indicates that residents in Alameda and Contra Costa counties should prepare for potential outages.
PG&E has not specified the exact locations for the power shutoffs but will provide specific addresses and details typically two days before any planned outages.
