Power shutoffs possible for 162K SoCal Edison customers amid return of high winds, fire weather

An estimated 162, 276 SoCal Edison customers may lose service as high winds and fire weather conditions are expected to return to Southern California beginning Thursday. 

Public Safety Power shutoffs (PSPS) are under consideration due to the potential of elevated fire risk in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Kern, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the electric supply company said.
