Today, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) restored power to all customers affected by recent Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). Despite improved weather conditions, our region continues to experience unprecedented and prolonged dry conditions, creating high wildfire risk. SDG&E encourages customers to remain prepared as we monitor weather models that are indicating additional Santa Ana winds early next week.
Earlier this week, SDG&E de-energized customers in certain communities in response to elevated wildfire weather conditions and the driest start to the rainy season in San Diego County in the past 174 years. This proactive measure was taken to reduce wildfire risk and protect public safety. Following patrols and inspections of power lines on foot and by air, SDG&E crews safely restored power for all customers who were impacted by PSPS as of Thursday morning.
Community Resource Centers
During the recent PSPS, SDG&E opened Community Resource Centers in affected areas, providing customers with services such as Wi-Fi, food, phone, tablet, and medical device charging. With power now restored, all of the Community Resource Centers have been closed.
