LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Pacific Gas and Electric said Wednesday night that it has scaled back the size of its planned public safety power shut-off scheduled for early Thursday morning.
The company — which had conducted a public safety power shut-off, or PSPS, on Monday and Tuesday due to high winds — said another shut-off also was being triggered by weather and dry conditions.
Originally, the second shut-off this week, set to start shortly after 12 a.m. Thursday, was to include 29,000 customers in 12 counties.
But by Wednesday night, PG&E said it had scaled back the planned PSPS to about 6,000 customers in 11 counties in response to the incoming weather system, which is weaker than the one earlier this week that prompted the first of the two PSPS events.
Nearly 1,800 Lake County customers originally had been included in the original notifications. PG&E said Wednesday night the number of Lake County customers expected to be impacted had been reduced to 94, of which three are in the Medical Baseline program.
The Lake County customers included in the Thursday PSPS are in the Cobb and Middletown areas, and east of Lower Lake.
In addition to Lake, these are the counties to be impacted in the Thursday PSPS:
Butte: 768 customers, 69 Medical Baseline customers.
Colusa: 553 customers, 38 Medical Baseline customers.
Glenn: 376 customers, 22 Medical Baseline customers.
Kern: 664 customers, 34 Medical Baseline customers.
Napa: 468 customers, 22 Medical Baseline customers.
Shasta: 721 customers, 53 Medical Baseline customers.
Solano: 1,026 customers, 72 Medical Baseline customers.
Sonoma: 127 customers, 3 Medical Baseline customers.
Tehama: 1,227 customers, 126 Medical Baseline.
Yolo: 250 customers, 5 Medical Baseline customers.
Due to the small number of Lake County customers, PG&E will not open a community resource center locally.
