Sacramento Power Shutoffs: Facilities Must Prepare Now for Fire Season

Last summer we all experienced a record heat wave of triple digit temperatures which forced periodic power shutoffs to users across California. Moving forward, we should expect a similar assault in 2021. An effective plan must account for soaring temperatures, wildfires, and outages initiated by utilities like SMUD and PG&E, with only a few days’ notice.

This year the threat to Sacramento organizations packs extra punch. Not only are hot weather and wildfires on the horizon, the Covid-19 economic recovery could also amp up pressure on the power grid.    

As corporations chart the terrain out of Covid-19, a dynamic shift seems to be taking place in the way business is conducted. Companies have come to realize that working remotely has advantages. The headline of a March 29 New York Times article about the city’s empty office buildings says it all: “Remote Work is Here to Stay.”

There will be no rush to re-fill empty buildings, particularly in the posh real estate of Silicon Valley and the Bay area. In Sacramento County that could mean a population bump fueled by workers moving eastward or companies staffing remote satellite offices. Home sales are projected to grow 17.2% in 2021.

The potential rise in population brings with it additional strain on power distribution networks, risking outages for businesses and organizations we serve from our Sacramento office.

How CD& Power can help prepare Sacramento organizations for power failures

As Northern California’s leading independent, generator maintenance company, we bring over 35 years of on-the-ground experience in maintaining generators and supplying temporary power. Our CD & Power Sacramento branch manager, Matthew Woods, and his team can help you plan and execute a strategy to keep your organization running during a power breakdown.

  • Inspection - we are equipped to provide an inspection and assessment of your backup power system to ensure readiness. That includes checking to make sure your generators comply with local and state regulations.
  • Maintenance - our technicians are truly some of the best in the Western U.S. Whatever the brand or configuration, we’ve likely seen it before and are well-equipped to keep it in top running order.
  • Sales & Installation - if needed, we will specify, source and coordinate the installation of a stationary backup generator.

Rental - if a power shutoff event requires a portable generator rental, we can implement a plan that gets it done, on time.

Give us a call at 916-564-2622 to see what CD& Power can do to get your organization ready for the summer of 2021.

How We Got Started

CD & Power was established in 1985 by Chuck Uischner, [who is best known as “The Big Tall Bald Guy”]. Chuck would fix all kinds of industrial engines and equipment during the day, and then do books at night. Back in those days, the generator and engine parts department consisted of a small desk and a shelf. Chuck expanded his generator and engine repair business by taking chances, and surrounding himself with motivated people.

In 2013 Chuck transitioned ownership to his daughter, Jill Collaro as President, and his son Donald Uischner as Vice President. Now in our 30th year, CD & Power continues to be a family-run operation with a close-knit network of employees. Under Jill’s able leadership the company earned certification from the State of California as a WBE or Woman-Owned Business Enterprise.
