• PG&E warns of potential power shut-offs during Northern California heat

    As California braces for a heat wave this week, Pacific Gas and Electric
    Co. warned Sunday of potential power shut-offs in parts of the Bay Area
    and elsewhere in Northern California to help prevent its electrical
    equipment from sparking wildfires.

    PG&E officials were monitoring weather conditions for a possible public
    safety power shut-off Tuesday in Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Napa, Shasta,
    Solano, Tehama and Yolo counties. During the shut-offs, the utility preemptively turns off customers’ power in areas with elevated fire risk
    when weather forecasts predict gusty winds and dry conditions.

    Dry, hot and windy conditions are in the forecast this week, raising the
    risk of wildfires. The National Weather Service issued a red flag
    warning for parts of the Sacramento Valley, Lake County and Solano
    County. High temperatures in the North Bay valleys are predicted to
    range from 100 to 110 degrees Tuesday.

    “As of now, no PSPS has been called, and no customers have been
    notified, as the potential event is more than two days away,” said PG&E spokesperson Karly Hernandez.

    Specific details — including addresses and maps that could be affected
    by the shut-offs — are available two days before the shutoff, according
    to PG&E’s website.

    PG&E customers can sign up for text or phone call alerts on its website.

    “We are committed to keeping our communities informed and will provide updates as conditions evolve,” Hernandez added.

    Battery powered UPS units capable of running smart phones, tablets, LED

    Not enough capacity to run a 'fridge. We can see what the priorities

    It is not really a government problem. There is not enough generation
    capacity for the extreme temperatures. Does Newsom run the power plant?

    He makes it so it is impossible to build one with all
    they strings and regulations and bribes required.

    His idiots have managed to shut down all but one
    nuclear power plant and they are hard at work on
    that one too.

    Yes it is a "government problem" at the state and federal levels since
    they regulate power and set rate limits.

    You know the answer to your dumb question.

    I just googled this up:

    https://rvmiles.com/california-generator-ban/

    I knew they were putting in similar bans on leaf blowers and lawn mowers.

    With government mandates to do away with fossil fuels pushing us to
    electric vehicles and heat pumps they are bound to stress the grid.

    It has _nothing_ to do with generation capacity. The public safety
    power shutdowns are to avoid starting fires in hot, windy weather.

    There's plenty of power. The problem is that PG&E returned all their
    profits to shareholders and forgot to maintain the equipment and lines,
    so their solution is to preemptively shut certain rural areas rather
    than fix their system.

    None of the affects any of the major population centers at all.
