Dear SCE Customers,
A Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) is when an electric utility temporarily shuts off power to reduce the risk of a wildfire caused by utility equipment. Dangerous fire weather conditions — which include strong winds, dry vegetation and low humidity — drive PSPS events. Under these conditions, a fire could spread rapidly, posing a significant safety risk. PSPS reduces the risk of winds causing debris or trees to come into contact with utility equipment and starting a fire.
To learn about SCE’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan and help you stay informed and prepared for PSPS, SCE is hosting a live discussion for Mono and Inyo County customers at the Clint Quilter Consolidated Office Building on Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 6:00-7:30PM (with option to join the virtual livestream).
