KSNV · last updated

NV Energy is warning customers in parts of Mt. Charleston to prepare for a possible proactive power shutoff based on current weather forecasts and an increased risk of fire in the area.

NV Energy issued a warning for a Public Safety Outage Management event scheduled to begin Sunday, May 17, at about noon and continue overnight until Monday, May 18, at about 9 a.m.

The warning applies to the Angel Peak and Kyle Canyon zones.

NV Energy said a warning means a proactive outage is highly likely, and customers should prepare for power to be shut off.

During a PSOM event, NV Energy said it will proactively de-energize power for certain customers in high-risk zones to help protect the community and environment from wildfires.

The company said it will continue monitoring fire weather conditions and provide regular updates to impacted customers about the status of the outage event.
