The Latest: PG&E announces new California power cutoffs

Pacific Gas & Electric is alerting 27,000 customers in portions of five Northern California counties that power will be proactively shut down to guard against weather-related wildfires. The warning late Saturday afternoon to Butte, Yuba, Nevada, El Dorado and Placer counties came shortly after the utility said it was ending daylong power shutdowns to 1,600 customers in Napa, Solano and Yolo counties. The new cutoffs will begin at 9 p.m. and last through Sunday morning.
