Consider Presentation and Update by Ian Anderson, Government Relations Manager with Southern California Edison, on Public Safety Power Shutoffs and Status of Grid Improvements in Moorpark. Staff Recommendation: Receive and file presentation. (Staff: PJ Gagajena, City Manager) Item: 9.A. EVOLVING PUBLICSAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY SAFETY AND REDUCE THE RISK OF WILDFIRES 1 Item: 9.A. PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS PSPS is necessary to save lives and protect communities. PSPS reduces the risk of winds causing debris or trees to come into contact with utility equipment and starting a fire when fuels are dry and fire risk is high. 2 OUTAGE TYPES: Data as of 12/31/22 3 4Data Source: CAL FIRE ACRES BURNED IN CALIFORNIA, 1985-2024 4 FIRE POTENTIAL INDEX THRESHOLDS FIRE POTENTIAL INDEX (FPI) 1-17 is a formula used to estimate the potential of fire ignition and spread. HIGH FIRE RISK AREAS (HFRAs) correspond to CPUC High Fire Threat Districts (HFTD), with small deviations. 32HFRA Tiers 2-3: FIRE CLIMATE ZONES (FCZs) group similar vegetation, weather, topography, and fire history. FCZs 2-11:FCZ 1: FPI thresholds are set for each FCZ. When specific conditions suggest more risk, baseline FPI thresholds may be reduced. FPI 12 1 5 6 NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE VS. SCE FORECASTS More granular (2km 2) SCE forecast sees weather for individual circuits NOAA-based model averages across larger areas (3km2) 7 Windspeed thresholds for activation are based on forecasts, and Windspeed triggers for shut offs are based on actual weather NWS Wind Advisory level: 31 mph sustained winds or 46 mph gusts or when speeds reach local extremes. NWS High Wind Warning: 40 mph sustained windspeeds or 58 mph gusts. WINDSPEED THRESHOLDS Activation threshold for: Uncovered/partially-covered circuitsShutoff trigger for: Uncovered segments Activation threshold for:Fully covered circuitsShutoff trigger for: Fully-covered segments * * *Windspeedtriggers areadjusted(lowered) basedon circuit,environmentand event-specific factorsto determinecircuit specificshut off valuesfor each event. 8 PSPS NOTIFICATION TIMELINE PLANNING AND MONITORING 4-7 DAYSAHEAD 3 DAYSAHEAD WHEN POSSIBLE DAILY UPDATES 1-2 DAYSAHEAD 1-4 HOURSBEFORESHUTOFF SCE begins planning for potential PSPS Incident Management Team activatedInitial notification sent to all customers and public safety partners Daily update notifications sent as the weather forecast is refined Expected shutoff notification POWER SHUTOFF Sent after authorization POWER RESTORATION RESTORATION EFFORTS BEGIN Sent after inspection Sent when restoration patrols begin Advance notifications may not be possible in unexpected weather conditions. OUTAGE AND RECOVERY 9 Pre-Patrol (up to 3 Days before POC) •Looks for hazards that could presentimminent danger to equipment orcould be a potential fire risk •Identifies if equipment conditions aredeteriorating Live Field Observers (up to 2 hours before POC) Observe field conditions •Monitor winds •Assess damage •Perform manual switching FIELD OPERATIONS Restoration patrol •Pre-positioned on each circuit near end ofthe event •Inspect all lines for damage •Average ~6 hours for patrol by truck •~15% of circuits in HFRA require helicopterpatrol •Conditional restoration if there is asufficient gap between adjacent periods ofconcern 10 PSPS CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS Notifications •SCE Account Holders (email, text,and voice call) •Address Level Alerts: sign up atscepsps.com SCE Outage Map •Consolidated outage mapthat incorporates PSPSoutages atsce.com/outagemap 11 ENHANCEMENTS TO OUTAGE MAP Clearer layout to outage map page for better visibility Redesigned PSPS display panel on outage map provides near-real -time updates, showing circuit name and location linked to the searched service address.
