PG&E Begins Planned San Francisco Outages to Finish Mission Substation Repairs

The overnight shutoffs target final testing at the fire-damaged facility to reduce recent brief outages.

Overview

  • The first outage began shortly after midnight Monday in the Civic Center area, affecting about 3,600 customers for up to 12 hours.
  • A second outage is set for shortly after midnight Tuesday in the Richmond District, covering roughly 14,000 customers for up to two hours.
  • PG&E says the work finalizes repairs and testing tied to the Dec. 20 substation fire that left about 125,000 to 130,000 customers without power.
  • Temporary generators that have supported service, including units at 24th Avenue and Balboa, will be removed once normal operations resume.
  • Businesses and residents report preparing for closures, potential food loss, and elevator access issues, as PG&E cites automatic residential credits and ongoing claims processes.
