California’s power-grid operator declared a transmission emergency for the northern part of the state as high winds buffet the region.

PG&E Corp., which provides electricity to much of Northern California, asked officials to declare the emergency Tuesday for Humboldt County after stormy weather caused outages to a power line serving the area, according to a company spokesman.
