, shutoffs are possible over the weekend on both July 20 and July 21 in select areas of Fresno and Merced counties. The utility said Friday afternoon that three customers in Fresno County and 3,979 customers in Merced County will potentially be impacted by the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).

Other counties impacted by the Public Safety Power Shutoff include Alameda County, Contra Costa County, San Benito County, San Joaquin County and Stanislaus County. The potential shut-off is expected to affect approximately 16,000 customers, PG&E says.
