SAN FRANCISCO—Pacific Gas & Electric may cut power to over 1 million people on Sunday to prevent the chance of sparking wildfires, the utility announced Friday.
The nation’s largest utility said it could black out customers in 38 counties—including most of the San Francisco Bay Area—as weather forecasts called for a return of bone-dry, gusty weather that carries the threat of downing or fouling power lines or other equipment that in recent years have been blamed for igniting massive and deadly blazes in central and Northern California.
