Some Bay Area customers may get power shut off due to upcoming heat wave: PG&E [Video]

(KRON) — An upcoming heat wave is about to hit the Bay Area. The National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warning for mostly inland areas and the North Bay (see map below). According to the NWS, some areas are expected to be in the upper 90s to 110 degrees.

A potential Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) was issued as some Bay Area customers may have their power shut off as early as Tuesday morning, PG&E said in a press release.

The eight counties affected are primarily farther north outside the Bay Area, but PG&E said Napa and Solano residents should be aware of a potential power shutoff.

PG&E did not specify when the shutoffs, if any, would happen but warned it would be between early Tuesday morning and “could last” through Wednesday.
