PG&E and Cogen electricity to designated buildings – standby and emergency generators will run and any circuitry on these generator will have power
SCHEDULED DATES:
Saturday, May 17, 2025 (add this to your calendar)
SCHEDULED TIME:
6:30am – 6:30pm
*Power may be restored earlier if maintenance is completed quicker than anticipated.
IMPACTS:
All electricity to buildings will be affected. Only equipment connected to standby power will operate.
Emergency egress power (exits and minimal lighting in hallways) will run supported by the Heat Plant.
Elevators will NOT be in service during this shutdown.
REASON:
6 year scheduled high voltage preventive maintenance and testing. The facilities listed in the shutdown notice must be isolated from both utility power (PG&E) and cogen power so the electrical team can safely clean and test the facilities’ high voltage transformers.
If you would like assistance from the Electrical Shop to ascertain which loads are and are not affected by this shutdown call the PHYSICAL PLANT SERVICE CENTER WORK CONTROL DESK AT 459-4444. For electrical shutdowns, be sure that all computer terminals are turned off before the scheduled time to avoid problems. Elevators in your area will not be operational; do not attempt to use them.
