PG&E says more potential power cuts could hit about 209,000 customers

PG&E Corp said on Monday about 209,000 customers could be hit by potential power cutoffs this week, less than two weeks after its most recent unprecedented shut-offs hit more than 730,000 homes and workplaces in northern California. The bankrupt Californian power producer said the latest cuts were intended to avoid its equipment sparking wildfires in hot weather. “This afternoon, the company began its 48-hour advance notifications to customers that it may be proactively turning power off for safety and conducting a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) on late Wednesday evening,” it said.
