Power restored to thousands of San Francisco residents after storm-related outage

By Jose Fabian

Thousands of San Francisco residents were without power for part of Saturday due to another unplanned outage, just a week after a massive power outage left a third of the city in the dark.

According to PG&E’s outage website, there were 6,050 customers in Golden Gate Park, part of the Sunset and the Panhandle, without power in the morning. The cause was storm-related, the utility company said, and it happened just after 11 a.m. 

PG&E said a crew was working to bring back service to customers, and they listed the estimated time of restoration as 3:45 p.m. Power was restored just before 3 p.m., according to the company’s outage website.

This latest outage also comes just days after parts of the Bay Area lost power during Christmas due to the storm.
