Potential power outage planned for Big Bear Valley on Aug. 10
Southern California Edison maintenance could cut power to the valley for up to four hours in the early morning.
By Big Bear News1 min read
Big Bear Valley residents and businesses should be prepared for a possible power interruption in the early hours of Monday, Aug. 10, 2026. Southern California Edison has scheduled maintenance on the main power line serving the area, which could result in an outage between 3:00 AM and 7:00 AM.
The keyword is "potential" — BVES notes that power may not actually be interrupted, but the four-hour window is when residents should be ready just in case. Because the maintenance is set for the middle of the night, most residents will likely sleep through it, but those with medical equipment, refrigerated medications, or early-morning business operations should plan accordingly.
Simple precautions — charging devices ahead of time, keeping a flashlight handy, and noting that alarm clocks may need resetting — can go a long way. Residents are encouraged to contact BVES directly for the latest status on Aug. 10.
