PG&E cuts power in Monterey, Clovis, Shasta County with fire-weather risk rising

PG&E cuts power in Monterey, Clovis, Shasta County with fire-weather risk rising

Power went out for PG&E customers in different parts of northern and central California this week. Local outlets reported outages stretching from the Monterey Peninsula up to Clovis and Shasta County. Storms and early-summer fire weather hit the region. The outages are a problem now because they’re big enough to show how tough it is for California utilities to keep power on in the heat and storms, without risking fires from broken equipment. PG&E says it serves over 16 million people in northern and central California, across 70,000 square miles.

Why electricity prices are still high in 2026 — and the fight over who pays next

Why electricity prices are still high in 2026 — and the fight over who pays next

Electric bills are climbing across much of the U.S., with a Fast Company report on Thursday pointing to the AI data center boom as a major stress on the grid. In the Bay Area, PG&E’s average bill has jumped nearly 70% over five years, the report noted. A Bloomberg analysis it cited found electricity prices near some data centers have soared as much as 267% during the same stretch. Ryan Hledik of Brattle Group said, “We are seeing utilities run out of that spare capacity.” Fast Company added that Microsoft has pledged to cover grid upgrade costs tied to its new data centers. Oregon has taken a different approach, passing laws requiring data centers to pay their own bills. Some proposals would even classify these facilities as “interruptible,” meaning “they’re going to be the ones that get shut off first, not Grandma’s house,” said NRDC’s Jackson Morris. TIME reported average monthly residential electricity bills soared to about $156 in 2025, up from around $121 in 2021—a jump nearing 30%. From January to October alone, bills rose 12.7%. The magazine cited the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, which warned households may spend close to $1,000 this winter just heating their homes.

SAN FRANCISCO — Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025 — A massive, fast-moving PG&E power outage swept across San Francisco, leaving roughly one-third of the city without electricity at its peak and triggering cascading disruptions: darkened streetlights and traffic signals, halted or rerouted transit service, and shuttered or cash-only businesses on one of the busiest weekends of the holiday shopping season. San Francisco Standard+1 By mid-afternoon, PG&E outage data cited by local outlets showed about 125,016 customers without power, concentrated largely across central and western neighborhoods—including the Sunset and Richmond districts—while officials also confirmed an active fire at a PG&E substation near 8th and Mission that may have contributed to the broader outage picture.

PCG Stock Today (November 21, 2025): PG&E Slips as Undergrounding Decision Delayed and $73 Billion Grid Plan Looms

PG&E Corporation’s PCG stock finished lower on Friday, November 21, 2025, as investors weighed fresh regulatory uncertainty around California’s undergrounding rules against the utility’s ambitious $73 billion grid-upgrade plan and a solid third-quarter earnings report. PG&E Corp closed the session at $15.67, down about 1.1% from Thursday’s close of $15.84. That move leaves PCG stock down roughly 5.5% over the past month and about 22% year-to-date, and about 26% below its level a year ago. Yahoo Finance+1

Stop Vampire Appliances from Sucking Your Wallet Dry – Slay These Hidden Power Drains

With electricity prices climbing, every saved watt counts. This Halloween season, energy experts and utilities across the U.S. are urging consumers to hunt down and “stake” these hidden power vampires before they drive up the bills.

Similarly, Pacific Gas & Electric warns idle appliances can quietly add “$100 a year” to a typical billprnewswire.com. For example, David Poster likens them to unwelcome houseguests: “Energy vampires feed on everyday habits, but eliminating them doesn’t require a big investment,” he saysprnewswire.com. Even a lone plugged-in charger wastes power; utilities point out that simply unplugging devices or using one switch on a power strip can cut standby use by ~20%prnewswire.compatch.com. Eversource Energy in Connecticut echoes this, warning households have effectively “invited vampires into their homes” if devices are left plugged in. Their efficiency manager Ricardo Jordan advises: “We all have electronics in our homes that are using electricity without us even realizing it…taking the time to unplug devices or turn off power strips…is just one
