Restoration efforts in progress as SDG&E cautions of more Santa Ana winds

With improving weather conditions in some areas, SDG&E has started to patrol power lines and equipment affected by Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). SDG&E appreciates how upsetting it is for our customers to be without power, and is working as quickly as possible to restore service where it is safe to do so.  

Patrolling and inspecting power lines are the first steps in the restoration process after a PSPS. Although inspections are underway, it can be difficult to predict how long an inspection may take, given the varied length of each power line, the terrain and whether aerial inspections are required. For more information on the restoration process, click here.  

  • Strong winds are currently forecasted through Friday morning, which could result in additional PSPS to protect public safety and delayed restoration timelines.  
  • Approximately 1,598 customers have services restored since 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21. Customers can find an up-to-date list of impacted communities at sdge.com/ready.
  • In some areas of the county, wind speeds reached record highs of 100+ miles per hour.  

Community Resource Centers are available to impacted customers, providing Wi-Fi, phone and medical device charging, and other essentials. A list of active Community Resource Center locations and hours of operation can be found at sdge.com/ready.  

211 San Diego and Orange County United Way offer enhanced community resources during a PSPS, which are free and confidential. 211 is available 24/7 in over 200 languages. Dial 211 or 711 if you are hearing impaired. Or call (858) 300-1211 in San Diego County and 1-888-600-4357 in Orange County.
