PG&E Outage Cuts Power to 5,400 in San Francisco’s Marina and Presidio

The disruption adds to growing scrutiny of PG&E’s reliability after recent citywide outages.

Overview

  • PG&E said more than 5,400 customers lost electricity Sunday night after a MarinaPresidio outage began around 9:10 p.m.
  • The blackout covered the Presidio through the Marina’s Great Meadow Park area, hitting homes and businesses north of Lombard Street, including a neighborhood Safeway that closed early.
  • Crews restored power to about 2,400 customers by 10:45 p.m., and PG&E estimated full restoration around 3 a.m. Monday.
  • PG&E reported it was evaluating the electrical system, and the company had not identified a cause or responded to media questions late Sunday.
  • The incident follows a Nob Hill outage about a week earlier and a recent substation fire that darkened roughly a third of the city, renewing questions about the utility’s performance.
