What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

On October 12, 2026, PG&E performed public safety power shutoffs (PSPS) in Shasta, Tehama, and Glenn counties due to high winds and dry conditions. The utility shut off power to reduce wildfire risk, affecting nearly 10,000 customers across the three counties. Power restoration depends on crews inspecting equipment for damage once weather conditions improve.
