Possible planned power outages due to the current heat wave roasting Northern California were called off for customers in Contra Costa, Alameda and Sonoma counties and most of Napa County, PG&E officials said early Monday evening.

The Public Safety Power Shutoff or PSPS were planned to reduce potential wildfire danger from power lines during the hot spell. While the outages won't go into effect for the customers in the East Bay and North Bay counties who were alerted, officials said around 140 customers north of Calistoga in Napa County could still have their power shut off.

Officials also noted that outages were still possible on Tuesday for the areas that were not impacted Monday night. PG&E had warned more than 13,000 customers across 13 counties their power could be cut, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa and counties.
