ICYMI: State Sen. Scott Wiener announces PG&E breakup bill
State Sen. Scott Wiener, who represents San Francisco, is advancing a new bill aimed at allowing cities to break up with PG&E. He said the new legislation would end PG&E's attempts to stall a city effort to dump the utility company.
NAPA, Calif. - Pacific Gas and Electric is warning customers about possible power shutoffs in parts of the North Bay because of forecasts calling for strong winds this weekend.
Dry winds raise concerns
What we know:
The utility said it has not yet determined whether a Public Safety Power Shutoff will be necessary, but the possibility exists because of dry offshore winds expected Sunday and Monday that could increase wildfire risk.
Communities that could be affected include Napa, Sonoma, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Tehama and Yolo counties. Any potential shutoffs could occur between Sunday and Tuesday.
PG&E: Multiple factors led to massive San Francisco outage
PG&E released findings from an independent investigation into a December power outage that left about 130,000 San Francisco customers without electricity, concluding the incident was caused by a combination of factors rather than a single failure.
According to PG&E, a low-pressure system moving south from the Pacific Northwest into the Great Basin will bring breezy to gusty northerly winds over the weekend.
The strongest winds are expected along the west side of the Sacramento Valley and elevated terrain across the Bay Area, where localized gusts could exceed 55 mph, the utility said.
