Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has alerted residents across 29 California counties about potential power shutoffs as wildfire risks escalate due to high winds and dry conditions. This week, thousands of customers, particularly in areas like San Luis Obispo, Butte, and the Bay Area, may experience outages as a proactive safety measure. Notifications have been sent to approximately 30,000 customers who might be affected, with further warnings indicating that up to 70,000 customers could face blackouts. PG&E continues to monitor conditions and may implement these shutoffs starting as soon as Wednesday. The utility company emphasizes that these measures are intended to reduce fire hazards in the region amid ongoing concerns about wildfire threats.
