Following this year’s Public Safety Power Shutoffs throughout California by PG&E, San Jose will receive up to $500,000 in state funds to cover the costs of the shutoffs from July through Oct. 31, 2022.

“We’re grateful to Gov. (Gavin) Newsom and our partners at State, such as Sen. (Jim) Beall, who’ve worked to reimburse the City of San Jose for stepping up to protect our community and their public safety from PG&E’s ongoing blackouts,” San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said in a statement Nov. 1.
