PG&E Outage Leaves 60,000 People Without Power In San Francisco<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Embattled utility PG&E reported a service interruption on Friday that cut power to 22,000 customers – about 60,000 people – in San Francisco and stranded riders on the city’s Muni rail service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One reporter said problems with PG&E Substation A had likely caused the outage, which started just before 8 am PT. The utility is hoping to have power restored by 10:30. By 9:50 PT, power had been restored to some 7,000 customers, leaving 15,000 still without power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
