Rolling Power Outages Likely In Healdsburg Amid Extreme Heat

HEALDSBURG, CA — Because of extreme heat and higher energy demand statewide, the city of Healdsburg said late Monday that it may be required to turn off power in parts of the city this week.

The state's electric grid operator, CAISO, may require the outages between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. daily in parts of Healdsburg through Thursday, city officials said in a news alert.

The outages typically last one or two hours, and the city will turn off power at city facilities first before shutting off power for residential/business customers. Healdsburg residents are asked to conserve energy to help shorten/curtail the local outages.

An excessive heat warning is in effect until 9 p.m. Wednesday for much of the San Francisco Bay Area, according to the National Weather Service.

In Healdsburg, a high temperature of 106 degrees is forecast for Tuesday, followed by 99 degrees Wednesday, weather officials said.

"A long duration heat wave will continue to impact the region through Wednesday, and possibly beyond," according to NWS. "... Due to the long duration of this event, accumulating heat stress will be a significant impact for the general public, pets, vegetation, and livestock across the region, particularly those sensitive to the heat."
