Southern California Edison (SCE)’s Post

Power has been shut off to 135,338 customers in Kern, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties due to dangerous fire weather conditions. We know being without power is difficult. Shutting off power during dangerous fire weather reduces the risk of utility equipment starting a wildfire. We have crews and staff members working continuously to restore power once the fire weather diminishes. Make sure to sign up for alerts from SCE to stay informed.

  • We know being without power is difficult. High winds and dry conditions are creating fire weather and Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) are needed in some areas to reduce wildfire risk and help keep our communities safe.
Here are some important facts:
As of 3:30 p.m. today, 135,338 customers in Kern, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties are without power due to a PSPS outage. 
As of 3:30 p.m. today, 185,522 additional customers remain under consideration for PSPS. 
If you see a downed power line, stay at least 100 feet away and call 911 immediately.
