Liberty offers information regarding power outages.

Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) Events

​To protect customers and communities from the risk of wildfire, Liberty will temporarily turn off power when weather conditions present an increased fire risk. Power outages might be prolonged, lasting several days. In partnership with fire weather experts, Liberty monitors real-time weather data and forecasts and regularly tests fuel moisture during the fire season. If it is determined that the forecasted conditions meet or exceed safety thresholds, Liberty will initiate a PSPS.

PSPS Alerts

In the event that a PSPS is a possibility, Liberty will attempt to contact customers through calls, texts and emails, using contact information on file. Call 800-782-2506 to update your account's contact information. An online account can be created through Liberty's website. If you have any difficulty registering your account, please call Customer Care at 800-782-2506 for assistance.
