UPDATE: Rocky Mountain Power updates Public Safety Power Shutoff Watch and Warning areas in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — Rocky Mountain Power has expanded and updated its Public Safety Power Shutoff watch and warning statuses in Utah, with approximately 18,362 customers currently included in the overall PSPS notification footprint and with the possibility of power shutoff. 

A 48-hour PSPS watch means conditions are being monitored because a power shutoff is possible. A 24-hour PSPS warning means conditions are more likely to require a shutoff, and the company plans to de-energize power lines and equipment if conditions create an extreme risk of wildfire ignition.

The current impacted areas include communities in and around Cedar City, Delta, Dixie, Enterprise Valley, Gunnison, Milford, Moab, Panguitch, Price / Emery, Richfield and Vernal. Because customer status may vary by circuit, including within the same service district, customers should use RockyMountainPower.net/PSPS to confirm whether their specific address is in a PSPS area and whether they are in watch or warning status.

24-hour Warning status: Customers who received warning notices are more likely to require a shutoff, and Rocky Mountain Power plans to de-energize power lines and equipment within the next 24 hours if conditions create an extreme risk of wildfire ignition. Conditions could be met for shutoffs as early as 7:00 a.m., Friday, June 26, 2026, and may continue through Saturday, June 27, 2026, in portions of the Warning area.

48-hour Watch status: Customers who received watch notices are in a 48-hour PSPS watch status. A watch means a power shutoff is possible, but conditions are still being monitored, and a shutoff has not yet been determined. Forecasted shutoff times could be as early as 7:00 a.m., Sunday, June 28, 2026, through the afternoon depending on the circuit and local conditions.

  • Approximately 2,991 customers in American Fork, Delta, Enterprise Valley, Gunnison, Moroni and Santaquin have had their PSPS Watch canceled.
  • If a shutoff becomes necessary, power could remain out until Sunday, June 28, 2026, depending on weather conditions, field patrols, damage assessment, and safe restoration requirements. All timing is estimated and subject to change based on real-time conditions.

Rocky Mountain Power is deploying additional personnel and resources to monitor conditions and support system operations. The company will continue evaluating real-time weather and system conditions before determining whether shutoffs are necessary. If weather conditions improve, the PSPS event may be canceled.

Temporary Community Resource Centers are being established to support impacted customers with device charging, cooling and basic amenities. Centers are scheduled to operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the following dates and locations:

  • Starting Friday, June 26: Beaver County Fairgrounds, 1400 E Highway 21, Minersville, Utah
  • Starting Friday, June 26: Heritage Center, 105 N 100 E, Cedar City, Utah
  • Starting Saturday, June 27: Western Park, 302 E 200 S, Vernal, Utah
  • Starting Saturday, June 27: Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School, 439 S 100 E, Moab, Utah

The company urges customers to follow local public safety agency recommendations and to have a plan and be prepared. Customers and stakeholders should be aware that conditions may change quickly, and customers in nearby areas may be in different phases, including Watch, canceled status or not impacted.
