Big Bear Valley PSPS Update:
Power Restoration & Community Conservation Needed
Big Bear Lake, CA – Bear Valley Electric Service has restored power to all customers. While electric
service has been restored, Southern California Edison (SCE) continues to maintain a Public Safety
Power Shutoff (PSPS) on the transmission lines that serve BVES. As a result, the PSPS event
remains active and the warning period continues through 12:00 a.m. Sunday, June 28, due to
forecasted high winds and elevated wildfire risk. BVES will continue monitoring conditions and will
provide updates if the situation changes.

[UPDATE]

Lawsuits are actually the reason they're shutting the power off. Every time it's windy, and a line comes down and starts a fire, people sue. A Double-edged sword. So as a preventative, they're proactive cutting the power. Can't win, it's the price of modern-day conveniences. If everyone stopped suing for any reason, we wouldn't be here.

Living BBL fulltime?
For a new homeowner the +s are pretty darn tempting. The -s are TCs closing the highway for a short time. Floods, fires closing the highways for days,weeks and months. Add in your PSPS and maybe someone says hell no. A law suit needs to happen to prevent the unnecessary power drops. Why is everyone putting up with this crap year after year. 3rd world country?

Will do. Thanks for the heads-up!

No, i asked customer service thye just say they r working on it, no other info. Email their customer service on the website, very responsive.

Moco- Did they say where the completed rolling blackout schedule can be viewed? Would be great to be able to plan in advance.

Power back in Moonridge,
Power company email says they r working
On a schedule for customers for rolling outages.

Welcome AHan! That sucks! they need to rotate you in!!!!!

Haven't had power but motel 6 since 8ish last night. I feel like we're not getting a break.

The answer is 4.

I wonder how many additional homes could be powered up if all the unused vacation rental hot tubs were shut off? 🤔

BVES PSPS UPDATE
Update – Rolling Outages in Effect
Bear Valley Electric Service (BVES) continues to experience Southern California Edison (SCE)-
initiated power interruptions as part of SCE's Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) due to ongoing
wildfire risk.
As a result, electric service will rotate throughout the Big Bear Valley. Customers should expect
temporary rolling outages as BVES manages its limited local generation resources and works to
maintain the stability of the electric system.
During this time, BVES is prioritizing power to critical infrastructure and essential public safety
facilities, including emergency services and other critical community resources. Rolling outages are
necessary to balance available generation while SCE crews work to safely inspect and restore the
transmission lines that serve the Big Bear Valley
