According to CNN, electricity was cut to homes and businesses in more than a dozen areas as the California utility tries to avert wildfires.
Some areas without power are in California's wine country from Geyserville to Sonoma. There are also affected areas along the Sierra Nevada foothills including Paradise, the town that was decimated by the Camp Fire last year.
About 179,000 customers will lose electricity, the power company, which is in bankruptcy procedures, said earlier.
Firefighters are working 24/7 to put the fire out, with strong wind hindering them from doing so.
