If I was one of those 27000 customers I would be doing my best to never again be a customer of them. If I had to buy solar, gas generators or a giant hamster wheel powering my stuff I would because cutting off power in this manner for this reason simply is unacceptable in this day and age.
That would be fantastic for the utility. PG+E would love to just drop those customers entirely. The cost of fire risk alone is more than they make from this region. They can't because they're legally required to keep delivering power there.
So you're pissed that you finally have to pay the true cost for your utilities. You've been subsidized for the last 50+ years. It's time to stop subsidizing your sprawl.
