Learn more about reducing wildfire risks with enhanced safety settings, Public Safety Power Shutoff and encroachment strategy in this video below.
Enhanced safety settings (pacificpower.net) – this is the bulk of what has been causing the frequent outages.
· Enhanced Safety Settings (Elevated Fire Risk (EFR): These settings are used with devices that de-energize lines when a fault is detected, reducing the chance of a potential fire ignition. A power outage is more likely to occur when these settings are in place. As a result, if an outage occurs during the 2024 wildfire season, you may experience a longer-than-typical outage as our field personnel work to confirm that power can be safely turned back on.
· Public Safety Power Shutoff: The decision to implement a Public Safety Power Shutoff is based on extreme weather and area conditions, including high wind speeds, low humidity and critically dry fuels.
· Emergency De-energization: When an active wildfire moves close enough to threaten burning into the area of our lines or equipment, we may complete an emergency de-energization of our power lines to reduce catastrophic wildfire risk.
