NV Energy is holding a meeting on Wednesday in Incline Village to inform customers about their Public Safety Outage Management (PSOM) this fire season.

The open house will explain how they will shut off power in extreme fire-risk areas, including Lake Tahoe, during a PSOM event. When certain environmental conditions are met, power will be shut down in order to protect their customers, equipment and environment from wildfires.

NV Energy experts will be on hand to answer questions and share additional information regarding their efforts to reduce wildfire risk. Please note there is no formal presentation. Additional information can be found on their website, https://www.nvenergy.com/.

The meeting will be held at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Science Building, Room #139 on the Sierra Nevada College campus in Incline Village from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The campus is located at 999 Tahoe Blvd.
