PG&E could shut off power to 25,000 in Northern and Central California due to high winds Thousands of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. customers in Northern and Central California could be without power starting Monday as fast-moving winds increase the potential for fire danger.
PG&E had announced Saturday that about 44,000 customers could lose power in the region starting Monday morning, but by Sunday scaled down the size of the potential outage.
Initially, PG&E said that residents in 32 counties and seven tribes might be included in the planned outage. As of Sunday afternoon, the company said 25,000 residents in 22 counties and five tribes could be included.
With the scaled-down plans for outages, residents of Placer and El Dorado counties no longer are expected to be impacted.
In the Sacramento area, Yolo County remains among those areas potentially affected by the blackouts. According to PG&E, 515 customers in Yolo County could have their power switched off. ............
