PG&E Restores Power to Thousands in San Francisco After Equipment Failure

On Sunday evening, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) restored power to over 11,000 customers in San Francisco's Richmond District, Presidio, and Golden Gate Park areas following an unplanned outage caused by an overhead equipment failure. The outage began around 7:45 p.m., affecting approximately 11,000 customers. By 10:15 p.m., PG&E had restored service to nearly 5,000 customers, with full restoration completed shortly thereafter.

The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management advised residents to treat all dark traffic signals as four-way stops during the outage. This incident follows a series of outages in the city during the previous week, including a major disruption on December 20 that left approximately 130,000 customers without power due to a substation fire.
