- Description: Offers information about rotating outages, a tool that can be used to search which block a customer’s address is a part of to see if they will be impacted by an outage, a table showing the estimated shut off time, and answers to some frequently asked questions. A rotating outage is an electric power outage that rotates from area to area, so no single neighborhood is down for very long. It is designed to reduce demand and maintain power grid reliability. When demand for electricity is higher than supply, such as during a heat wave, Californians might be asked to use less energy. If enough people conserve electricity at once, rotating outages can be cancelled or postponed by an hour or more. Customers may be notified by text, email and/or phone before PG&E enacts a rotating outage in their area. Outages typically last 1-2 hours.
