PG&E Restores Power After Civic Center Shutoff as Second Planned Outage Targets Richmond and Sunset

The scheduled outages finalize testing at the Mission substation damaged in a Dec. 20 fire.

Overview

  • PG&E restored service by about 8 a.m. Monday to roughly 3,600 Civic Center customers after an overnight, planned shutoff.
  • Muni Metro fully reopened late Monday morning following safety checks after the outage disrupted subway service between Van Ness and Embarcadero.
  • A second shutoff is scheduled shortly after midnight Tuesday for about 14,000 customers in the Richmond and Sunset districts, with an estimated duration of up to two hours.
  • PG&E has kept neighborhoods powered with temporary generators and says it will remove them once the substation returns to normal operations, including units at 24th Avenue and Balboa Street.
  • The utility is notifying customers by text, voicemail and email, posting maps online and fielding questions at 800-743-5002, while businesses report losses and many await resolution of December damage claims.
