PGE said it transferred 6,000 customers back to the grid early Monday morning after a planned power outage in San Francisco’s Richmond District and Golden Gate Park late Sunday. The purpose of the outage was to remove temporary generators in the neighborhood and to put those neighbors back on t he grid. Seven temporary generators were installed on Dec. 22 at 24th Avenue and Balboa in Richmond, temporarily providing power to around 6,000 customers following a citywide outage the previous week. “About 6,000 San Francisco PGE customers were successfully transferred back to the grid a short while ago,” PGE said Monday morning. “The outage started at 11:48 p.m. on Sunday, the generators were turned off at 11:57 p.m. on Sunday and customers started being served by the grid at 12:02 a.m. on Monday. “As we said previously, tonight’s switchover to grid power was not the final phase of restoring normal operations at the Mission Substation. Extensive repairs are ongoing, and we are developing a plan to return the system to full service in the coming days. For now, the temporary generators at 24th Avenue and Balboa Street will remain at their current location to potentially assist with the final phase of restoration.” San Francisco 14 hours ago Power outage in San Francisco affects more than 11,000 PGE customers San Francisco 22 hours ago Calls for change from PGE escalate as San Francisco power issues continue power outages Dec 25 Tens of thousands of Bay Area PGE customers without power on Christmas Day The planned outage followed an unplanned outage earlier Sunday evening that affected more than 11,000 PGE customers in the city, according to the utility.
