PG&E has notified customers throughout Northern California that they will be susceptible to a PG&E planned outage during the coming fire season. \u00a0This is causing uncertainty and anxiety among customers who do not know when they will lose their power. It also brings a whole host of other issues. People will need to plan for i.e. losing refrigeration, losing power to vital medical equipment, and losing power for perishable products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some areas that are heavily wooded with dense, dry vegetation are more prone to wildfires. But this doesn\u2019t mean that the power will only be shut down within those areas. \u00a0When a utility shuts down power<\/strong> transmission it affects an area that runs the entire length of the transmission line so if you live near a wildfire-prone area, but your neighborhood is clear of heavy dry vegetation and does not normally experience wildfires your power could still be cut due to being within a transmission area that is shut down. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solutions<\/h2>\n

There are solutions that the average home and business owner can start planning for now to address outages. \u00a0Energy storage<\/strong><\/a> is one way to address a temporary loss of power. The average homeowner in California uses approximately 15-kilowatt hours of energy per day. \u00a0This is running most appliances and devices that require electricity in a normal manner with consistent power available at all times. If a homeowner wants to protect their refrigerated items, keep a few lights on and charge their cell phones then they will use a fraction of those 15-kilowatt hours. There are several, affordable home battery solutions that will cover this kind of use by producing 7-10 kilowatt hours per charge. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This could get you through a couple of days of an outage. If you combine the storage with solar and charge the battery during the day via a solar system you can keep your home running much longer with conservative electricity usage. There are also scalable energy storage solutions available now for businesses of all sizes. Companies like Home Depot have been deploying battery storage in many of their stores across the U.S. <\/span><\/p>\n
