About Public Safety Power Shutoffs A public safety power shutoff (PSPS) is a safety procedure utilized by electric utilities to proactively turn off power when and where weather conditions create a high wildfire risk. The practice of de- energization, which is becoming more and more frequent, is supported by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as a safety best practice. In partnership with fire weather experts, Liberty monitors real-time weather data and forecasts and regularly tests fuel moisture during the fire season. If forecasted conditions meet or exceed safety thresholds, Liberty will initiate a PSPS. For information in Spanish, please click here.
