SAN DIEGO, January 15, 2025 – With the expiration of the region’s Red Flag Warning at 6:00 p.m. and improved weather conditions, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has completed restorations for a portion of customers impacted by PSPS. Customers who continued to experience Santa Ana wind gusts during the day, will remain de-energized overnight as SDG&E crews wait for daybreak to safely patrol power lines and restore power.

In an effort to restore power as safely and quickly as possible, SDG&E’s crews and aerial assets are prepared and ready to begin final patrols and inspections beginning at sunrise. Patrolling and inspecting power lines are critical first steps in the restoration process after a Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). It can be difficult to predict how long an inspection may take, given the varied length of each power line, the terrain and potential damages. If damages are found, SDG&E crews must carry out the proper repairs before power can be restored safely. For more information on the restoration process, click here.

While weather conditions have begun to improve in the region, SDG&E’s meteorologists are closely tracking a potential system of Santa Ana Winds which could enter the region as early as next week. Customers are urged to stay alert and continue to be prepared. Customers can sign up to receive alerts from SDG&E at sdge.com/notifications and download the free Alerts by SDG&E app on Google Play or the App Store to get real-time updates and notifications about potential PSPS in the future.
