Tens of thousands of SoCal Edison customers could lose power amid heat wave

Inland Empire residents deal with heat, power outage

Some of the Inland Empire residents have lost power at the worst possible time: In the middle of a brutal heat wave.

Tens of thousands of Southern California Edison customers may lose power during the electric supply company's scheduled outages, with some of the customers being left in the dark during this week's heat wave.

According to SoCal Edison's power outage awareness map, more than 1,300 outages are scheduled across Southern California, which could impact up to 64,000 customers. In Los Angeles County, some of the outages will take place as soon as Thursday, 8 a.m. and they could last up to eight hours.

The planned outages come as parts of Southern California could see triple-digit temperatures through the end of Labor Day weekend. The brutal heat wave prompted the National Weather Service to issue an excessive heat warning for Los Angeles County until 8 p.m. Monday.

SoCal Edison determined the timing of outages between one to four weeks before the timed temporary shutdowns. SoCal Edison said it is re-evaluating the timing of the shut downs but did not specify if any of the scheduled outages will be postponed in the wake of this week's hot weather in the area.
