By Brandon Downs

Another power outage in San Francisco left thousands of Pacific Gas and Electric customers in the dark Sunday night. 

PG&E’s website showed more than 11,000 customers lost power around 7:45 p.m. By 11 p.m., the outage map showed power was restored to all customers. 

The outage was impacting the Richmond, Golden Gate Park and Presidio areas. 

The utility company said the outage was due to an overhead equipment failure. 

The city saw several outages through Christmas week as a winter storm moved through the area with heavy rain and strong winds. At the height of the outage, more than 130,000 PG&E customers were without power.

On Saturday, an outage impacted about 6,000 customers in the Golden Gate Park area.
