PSPS & Power Outage Data for Potrero
Potrero in Campo experiences frequent Public Safety Power Shutoffs during fire season. Here's what the data shows for this area.
What This Means for Potrero Residents: With an average of 4+ PSPS events annually lasting 48-96 hours each, Potrero homeowners face significant power reliability challenges. The highest risk period runs from May-October, when Santa Ana wind conditions trigger SDG&E shutoffs. A whole-home generator eliminates these disruptions entirely, restoring power within 10 seconds of any outage.
Why Potrero Residents Need Backup Generators
Living in Potrero comes with unique power challenges that make a whole-home generator essential
Extreme Isolation and Infrastructure Limitations
Campo sits 60+ miles from SDG&E's main service centers with single-line power feeds serving most areas. When equipment fails, crews must travel over an hour just to reach the area, then navigate rural roads to locate problems. Response times regularly exceed 48-72 hours, with some outages lasting a week or more during regional emergencies. In Campo, waiting for the grid isn't a viable option - generators provide essential self-sufficiency.
Agricultural and Ranching Dependencies
Campo's economy includes cattle ranching, horse properties, and agricultural operations requiring continuous power for well pumps, livestock watering, barn climate control, and refrigeration. Extended outages threaten animal welfare and can cause significant financial losses. Desert heat makes continuous water access critical for livestock survival. Generators protect both animals and agricultural investments in this rural ranching community.
Aging Power Grid Vulnerability
Campo's power infrastructure includes decades-old equipment serving a sparsely populated area. Utility investment in remote rural areas is limited, meaning older transformers, poles, and lines remain in service well past their intended lifespan. Equipment failures are common, and the rural geography makes repairs time-consuming. Residents can't rely on the grid - backup power is essential infrastructure.
Wildfire Risk and PSPS Events
Campo sits surrounded by grasslands and wilderness that create significant wildfire exposure. While not as high-risk as mountain communities, Campo still experiences PSPS shutoffs during extreme fire weather. The 2007 Harris Fire impacted areas near Campo, and residents remain aware of fire danger. PSPS events combined with unplanned outages mean Campo properties regularly lose power, making generators essential for protection.
Well Water and Septic System Dependencies
The vast majority of Campo properties rely on private wells and septic systems requiring electricity to operate. Without power, homes lose all water access and sewage handling capability - creating genuine health and safety concerns. A generator ensures your well pump and septic systems continue operating, maintaining essential sanitation and water supply during extended outages common in this remote area.

PSPS Protection for Potrero
Potrero falls within SDG&E's High Fire Threat District, making residents eligible for PSPS protection solutions. During Public Safety Power Shutoffs, SDG&E de-energizes power lines to prevent wildfire ignition. These events typically last 48-72 hours in the Campo area, and Potrero's specific location can mean even longer restoration times. A whole-home generator is the only way to maintain power throughout these extended outages.
