PSPS conditions cleared for Big Bear Valley

Southern California Edison lifted the Public Safety Power Shutoff threat for the area Wednesday morning, signaling an end to the elevated fire-weather conditions that triggered the precautionary alert.

Bear Valley Electric Service announced that SCE cleared PSPS conditions for Big Bear Valley on Wednesday, September 2, at 9:15 a.m.[1] BVES draws its power from the SCE transmission system, so an SCE clearance means the shutoff risk has passed for local customers as well.

The duration of the PSPS event and the number of customers placed on standby could not be confirmed from available information. No further action is required of residents at this time. If you experienced any power-related issues during the alert period — such as a tripped breaker or damaged equipment — contact Bear Valley Electric Service directly for assistance.
