Power Restoration Continues After New Public Safety Shutoffs
Date: June 22, 2025
UPDATE: 3:15 p.m., Sunday, June 22
PG&E has restored all customers who can be restored from the June 19 and June 21 Public Safety Power Shutoff.
***
UPDATE: 11:07 a.m., Sunday, June 22
PG&E issues all-clear orders, begins restoration work in all areas.
Sunday morning PG&E issued a weather all-clear for areas impacted by two PSPS events that began on Thursday (June 19) and continued on Saturday (June 21).
The weather all-clear allows crews to begin patrols, inspect electrical equipment for damage and make any necessary repairs before safely restoring power to customers.
Restoration for all customers is expected to be complete by 10 p.m. Sunday.
PG&E began shutting off power Thursday morning due to severe weather and wildfire risk. More than 11,500 customers in 15 counties were potentially in scope for the Thursday PSPS, and power was shutoff to about 7,000 customers.
PG&E began restoring service to those customers on Saturday morning as a second wave of dangerous weather conditions began to arrive, making it necessary to shutoff power to 7,000 customers, including some who remained out from the Thursday event.

UPDATE: 8:30 p.m., Saturday, June 21
Power Restoration Continues After New Public Safety Shutoffs
PG&E crews have been working safely and diligently to restore service to customers impacted by Thursday’s PSPS event as they also continue to monitor a second round of severe weather on Saturday that prompted another PSPS event.
As of 8:30 p.m., 7,820 customers are without power due to the PSPS events this week.
Additional customers may be de-energized throughout the evening as weather conditions warrant. Customers impacted by PSPS receive multiple notifications alerting them of the potential for power outages.
Today’s Public Safety Power Shutoff has the potential to impact approximately 11,000 customers in 16 counties and one Tribal area. About 4,000 of those customers were also impacted by a Public Safety Power Shutoff that began June 19.
On Thursday, weather stations in Alameda County recorded wind gusts that reached up to 61 mph. Wind like this, combined with dry conditions on the ground and low relative humidity values created elevated fire danger, and is the reason PG&E initiates PSPS events for safety.
As weather continues to improve, the focus will be on restoration of power. Restoration Steps include:
- Weather “All-Clear”: After high winds have passed, and it is safe to do so, a weather “all-clear” is issued for our crews to begin patrols and inspect electrical equipment.
- Patrol and Inspect: Our crews visually inspect for potential weather-related damage to powerlines, poles and towers. This is done by vehicle, foot and air.
- Isolate and Repair Damage: If crews find equipment damage, they work to isolate the damaged area from the rest of the system. Other parts of the system can then be restored.
- Restore Power: Once the poles, towers and lines are safe to energize, our Control Center restores power to affected areas.
- Notify Customers: We notify customers that power has been restored.

PG&E Continues Power Restoration While Initiating New Public Safety Shutoffs
After monitoring weather patterns and ground conditions overnight, PG&E continues restoring service to some customers affected by the June 19 Public Safety Power Shutoff.
At the same time, the decision was made to shut off service to about 1,660 customers in portions of Colusa, Glenn and Tehama counties due to hazardous weather conditions.
PG&E will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day Saturday to determine if additional shutoffs are necessary.
Restoration from the June 19 event will also continue throughout the day.
Support for impacted customers
PG&E has opened six additional Community Resource Centers (CRC) in Colusa, Tehama, San Joaquin, Shasta, Kern and Santa Barbara counties, while closing CRCs in Soledad, Carmel Valley, Livermore and Southern Brentwood for a total of 16 CRCs currently open to support in affected counties.

UPDATE: 9 a.m., Friday, June 20
Community Resource Centers Open This Morning for 7,000 Customers Impacted by PSPS That Began on Thursday; 11,000 Customers Notified of a PSPS Starting Saturday
About 7,000 PG&E customers remain out of power Friday morning after the company initiated a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) on Thursday. The impact stretches to small portions of about a dozen counties.
PG&E continues to closely monitor the weather to see when conditions improve enough to begin patrolling powerlines, the first step toward restoration. At this time, it’s anticipated that some of those customers will remain without power until Saturday afternoon.
Forecasters, however, say that another period of severe weather will arrive Saturday, which could lead to as many as 11,000 customers being impacted by a PSPS.
A PSPS is a last-resort tool that PG&E uses only when projected winds and other conditions are so severe that turning off the power is the only way to ensure that no wildfires start from PG&E equipment.
The PSPS expect to start on Saturday could affect about 11,000 customers in 15 counties and one tribal community. Those customers were told of the potential Saturday PSPS late Thursday.
