PSOMs are a preventative action that NV Energy takes to prevent wildfires based on extreme weather criteria.

Potentially affected customers in each area will be notified via phone, text, email messages and on NV Energy’s website at nvenergy.com/psom.

This potential proactive outage will impact a small portion of NV Energy’s total customers in southern Nevada and will be adjusted or canceled as weather conditions change.

The outage time includes the duration of the weather event and an estimate of how long it will take for crews to turn off power before the event and inspect lines for damage, vegetation, or debris so that power can be safely restored after the weather conditions have passed. stabilized.

Recovery time may change based on weather conditions or if crews need to make equipment repairs.

A PSOM event is an important defensive measure to help protect the community and environment from wildfires.

During a PSOM event, power is turned off for safety reasons to prevent power lines or debris blowing into power lines and other equipment from starting a wildfire when certain environmental conditions are met.
