Major Outage Cuts Power to About 130,000 in Western San Francisco

City leaders urge residents to stay off roads due to dark traffic signals.

Overview

  • PG&E says it is working with response crews and municipal officials to restore service to roughly 130,000 affected customers.
  • Outages are concentrated on the city’s west side, including Richmond, Sunset, the Presidio and Golden Gate Park, according to the emergency management map.
  • Traffic signals and Muni service are disrupted, and the mayor has asked residents to remain at home if they do not need to travel.
  • Authorities have increased police presence at key intersections to manage safety while signals remain out.
  • A Mission neighborhood substation fire was reported earlier in the day as a possible factor, though the cause of the outage remains under investigation.
