More than 22,500 Pacific Gas and Electric customers lost power Monday morning in an outage affecting a swath of San Francisco.
The outage was reported to PG&E at 9:54 a.m., according to the utility. As of 11:25 a.m., power remained off for 22,547 customers.
PG&E crews were evaluating the electrical system to identify damaged sections and make repairs, the utility said. The company estimated that power would be restored by 12:30 p.m.
The cause of the outage was not clear. PG&E described it only as “unplanned” and said crews were working to safely restore service. Households stretching southeast from the Mission and Bernal Heights through Portola and Silver Terrace into the Hunters Point and Bayview neighborhoods lost electricity.
The utility urged customers to sign up for updates through its website.
Monday’s power cuts follow a nearly two-hour outage (opens in new tab) Sunday evening to more than 4,000 PG&E customers in several west-side neighborhoods.
