Stay informed during Peak Alerts

As your community owned utility, we are doing our part to be prepared by planning ahead for a hot, dry summer. The drought, wildfires, and prolonged heat waves may reduce the availability of power supply this summer, leading to Peak Alert conditions like we saw this past weekend. We have a number of resources available to ensure you are receiving information from Roseville Electric Utility.

• Update your contact information, including email address.
• Sign up for outage notifications by visiting roseville.ca.us/outages.
• Follow us on social media.

For more information on conserving energy and staying informed, visit roseville.ca.us/planahead.
