Most of the areas where the power is shut off are conservative counties. Coincidence?

For the GREATER good.
Now, you really get that meaning :-)
Most of us Conservatives live in rural areas where trees can actually drop a nut that grows
If you look at a map of the counties, you'll see that the (red) conservative counties are in the majority, and the progressive liberal (blue) counties are along the coast - San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles basin, Sacramento.
The transmission lines for electric power and natural gas come through the red counties on their way to the big blue population centers. The red counties are more rural, and their power comes directly from those transmission lines. If PG&E needs to cut power on those transmission lines, there aren't alternative ways to feed power to those rural areas.
PG&E budgets for maintenance of these transmission lines, but they are limited by poor forest management and enviro-whackos.
Thats just because Conservatives are rugged self reliant individuals that live out in the country where the air doesn't smell like the liberal $hit holes like LA
Not in the slightest way.
This is opportunistic and malicious intent.
