Listen to this note:
High winds and dry conditions during a heat wave sweeping the Bay Area this week may prompt public safety power shutoffs for customers in four counties in the region, the natural gas and electric agency said Monday.
Those notified of possible power outages include 286 customers in Contra Costa County, 140 in Napa County, 57 in Alameda County and 11 in Sonoma County, according to PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian.
“We continue to monitor the weather in those areas,” Sarkissian said.
Power cuts could take effect between 6:00 p.m. on Monday and 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
Nearly 10,000 customers in some Northern California counties are already experiencing power outages due to the heat wave affecting much of California. The majority are in Shasta County, where nearly 8,000 customers are affected, Sarkissian said.
