Work continues to restore power in Solano after winter storms move through region
FAIRFIELD Nearly 400 PG&E Solano County customers remained without power late Friday afternoon as crews worked to repair damage caused by this week’s winter storms and the accompanying wind and rain.
More than 24,000 customers across the county were without power at the height of the storms, which knocked down power poles and trees from the north end of the county to the south.
PG&E reported, as of around 4:15 p.m. Friday, there were 386 customers still waiting for power to be restored: 157 in Rio Vista, 133 in Dixon, 72 in Fairfield, 17 in Vacaville, five in Suisun City and two in rural Elmira.

Monitoring technology provides potentially lifesaving assistance
The Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) will use automated drones manufactured by the Israel-based Percepto company to detect problems in the power grid after hurricanes.
The drones perform their monitoring activities without human intervention. All that is needed is the equipment and cloud software.
“The drone comes out of the box, inspects the power line, for example, and they can land in their box or another box, charge, and wait for the next mission. That entire process is automated, meaning you don’t have to get anybody involved in that loop for that to happen,” Dor Abuhasira, CEO and co-founder of Percepto, told The Media Line.
Pacific Gas & Electric Company announced Sunday that Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties are no longer part of a possible Public Safety Power Shutoff event scheduled for Monday.
