Redding may cut power to prevent summer wildfires
As a heat wave ushering in triple-digit temperatures slammed Redding earlier than expected this year , the City Council will vote Tuesday night to finalize a proposal to preemptively cut power to some communities this summer should wildfire-prone weather conditions arise and prompt red flag warnings. Part of the proposal before the council includes the city-owned Redding Electric Utility offering $500 rebates to residential or commercial customers located in areas deemed at highest fire risk to help offset the purchase of power backup generators or batteries. The council will vote on the issue at its meeting on June 16. Lisa Bryan, REU's assistant director of customer services, said should the council approve the proposal, the plan will detail areas the agency has deemed at highest risk of being affected by wildfire. REU officials said earlier this year that their analysis is based on an analysis of 20 years of wildfire and weather data to determine which parts of Redding would most likely need to be covered by possible preemptive power cutoffs to lessen chances that a wildfire could break out. There's nothing in place right now that governs when REU will turn off power in a public safety power shutoff
