More than 1,700 PG&E customers lost power in northern San Luis Obispo County on Saturday morning.
Shortly before 10 a.m., power went out for 1,717 customers from the east side of Atascadero to Creston. The cause of the outage remains under investigation.
PG&E has not yet provided an estimate of when the electricity will be restored.
This morning (07-26) at about 7:15 the local grid went down out here at Lake Nacimiento. PG&E’s map showed an area including Oak Shores and the south side of Lake San Antonio affecting 2 – 3 thousand customers. Luckily power was restored within a couple hours.
This was not a planned outage. It would really be beneficial if PG&E would disclose the cause(s) of these kind of outages. In this case it was not weather related. No vehicle vs. poles occurred. So then, why?
As too often this happens in the same general areas, one could begin to suspect this is deliberate, and not by PG&E.
What’s going on? I seems like nearly every day a few thousand people in the county lost power.
