NV Energy Announces Public Safety Outage for Wednesday | News | 2news.com

NV Energy announced on Tuesday that the South Carson and Genoa areas will experience a proactive safety outage on Wednesday at 10 a.m. until 5 p.m due to rapidly changing weather conditions, including high winds.

During a proactive outage — also known as a Public Safety Outage Management (PSOM) event — NV Energy will proactively de-energize power for customers in highrisk zones to help protect the community and environment from wildfires.

This potential proactive outage will impact a small portion of the total number of NV Energy customers in the South Carson and Genoa areas. The proactive outage will be adjusted or cancelled if weather conditions change.

Potentially impacted customers have been notified via phone, text, email messages and social media. NV Energy will continue to monitor fire weather conditions and will provide regular updates on the status of the outage.

The outage timeframe includes the duration of the weather event and an estimate of how long it will take crews to inspect the lines for damage, vegetation or debris to begin safely restoring power.

Additional information, including outage preparedness tips, PSOM criteria and maps of the impacted zones can be found online at nvenergy.com/psom.
