A PSPS, or Public Safety Power Shutoff, is a planned power outage that electric utility companies use to prevent wildfires. During a PSPS, PG&E deliberately turns off the power. This often occurs during very windy, hot, and dry weather when the risk of fires is high. A PSPS helps prevent power lines from accidentally starting wildfires. Your electricity service with MCE still uses PG&E’s lines, which are subject to potential PSPS events.
A Power Outage is when the electricity unexpectedly turns off for various reasons. These reasons include storms, earthquakes, or technical issues.
A Rotating Outage (sometimes called a rolling outage) is caused when electric demand exceeds the available energy, and the California Independent System Operator (ISO) determines that reductions are necessary to protect the electric grid. The ISO notifies the electric utility companies and requires them to cut electricity use. The Rotating Outage Program, which was established by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), is a way to systematically and fairly address the need for forced reductions in electricity use by cutting power to customers when the electrical system is close to collapse. Customers will typically have little or no advanced notice. Participating in flex alerts, increasing your energy efficiency, and decreasing your energy usage can help reduce the risk of rotating outages.
The difference between these types of outages is that power outages aren’t planned, and PSPS events and rotating outages are planned. All outages can be inconvenient and potentially dangerous if you’re not adequately prepared. Please use this page as a resource to prepare for expected and unexpected outages by making your home more power resilient.
