PG&E Has Pre-Positioned Nearly 400 Crews to Restore Power Safely and as Quickly as Possible
Vegetation Crews Have Been Working Ahead of Storms to Keep Trees and Limbs Away from Powerlines During the Storm
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) crews are responding to local outages from a powerful storm now moving through Northern and Central California.
PG&E has nearly 400 power restoration crews pre-staged, including 278 troublemen, who are the energy company’s first responders to an outage. The company has also stockpiled power poles, power lines, transformers, and other electric equipment at yards throughout its service territory to help crews restore power as quickly as possible.
PG&E has activated its Emergency Operations Center and 17 regional and local operations emergency centers to assign staff and resources to the restoration efforts as necessary. In advance of the storm, vegetation-management crews have been working to keep trees and limbs away from powerlines.
Since midnight Sunday, crews have restored power to nearly 16,000 customers. As of 1 p.m. today, about 30,000 customers were experiencing storm-related outages.
PG&E meteorologists, along with experts from the National Weather Service, are predicting gusty winds, widespread rain, heavy mountain snow and isolated thunderstorms will continue across the company’s service region through much of the week.
Weather stations reported heavy rainfall and strong winds, with gusts as high as 77 mph in Livermore in Alameda County, and rain accumulation of nearly 10 inches over 48 hours at Middle Peak Mt. Tam in Marin County.
High winds are expected along the Central Coast and Central Valley through early Tuesday with gusts up to 50 mph in some areas. Snow levels in the Sierra Nevada will also be significant above 5,000 feet, with the potential for multiple feet of snow, particularly across the northern end of the range.
PG&E’s meteorology team uses a Storm Outage Prediction Model that incorporates real-time weather forecasts, coupled with 30 years of historical storm data and system knowledge to show where and when storm impacts will be most severe. This model enables the company to pre-stage crews and equipment as storms approach to enable rapid response to outages.
Keeping Customers Informed
PG&E knows how important it is to keep its customers informed. Customers can view real-time outage information on its website outage center and search by a specific address, by city or by county. This site has been updated to include in-language support for 16 languages.
Additionally, customers can sign up for outage notifications by text, email or phone. PG&E will inform customers about the cause of an outage, when crews are on their way, the estimated restoration time, and when power is restored.
