Thousands of San Francisco households and businesses were still without power Sunday afternoon after a massive outage Saturday plunged 130,000 customers into darkness at its peak.
As of 1:10 p.m. Sunday, about 15,000 customers were still without power, predominantly in the Presidio and the Richmond District.
In a video posted to X, Mayor Daniel Lurie said his office was planning to send resources to the areas. A PG&E spokesperson said the company is communicating directly with impacted customers to provide food and hotel vouchers. It also set up a community resource center at the Richmond Recreation Center with charging stations, bottled water and WiFi access.
In a statement Sunday morning, the company said it had no estimate for when power would be fully restored, but would share more details “as our assessment and repair efforts continue.”
“This is a very complex workplan and will require the highest amount of safety [and] focus to ensure safe work actions,” PG&E spokesperson Edgar Hopida said, adding that the company has sent additional engineers and electricians to the city.
