Extreme heat, wildfire, and flooding are increasingly disrupting California’s power infrastructure, leading to widespread Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) and prolonged outages that endanger vulnerable residents. In the Inland Empire, stakeholders described week-long blackouts that halted local operations and left homes without air conditioning during dangerous heat waves. Regional studies by WRCOG found that transmission lines supplying cities pass through high wildfire threat districts—and by 2050, wildfires could destroy entire transmission corridors—while flooding and heat are projected to reduce grid capacity by up to 20%. These compounding risks underscore the urgency of integrating resilience and redundancy into energy systems to protect public health and community safety.
