Southern California Edison, a major power supplier to 5 million homes and businesses, has initiated proactive measures to safeguard against potential wildfire risks. The utility has started implementing Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) for certain customers in order to mitigate the threat of fire ignition from its electric system.
Currently, approximately 8,600 customers are affected by the PSPS in regions spanning across Los Angeles, Riverside, and Ventura Counties. These shutoffs are being carried out as a precautionary measure during periods of heightened fire danger due to extreme weather conditions.
