​Power Restored To All SDG&E Customers After Public Safety Shutoffs

SAN DIEGO, CA — Power has been restored for thousands of San Diego Gas and Electric customers whose service was shut down as a safety measure amid critical fire weather conditions in parts of San Diego County.

As of 11:30 a.m. Thursday, power was restored to all customers affected by the most recent round of public safety power shutoffs, according to SDG&E.

Earlier this week, SDG&E de-energized customers in certain communities to help reduce wildfire risk during dry conditions and gusty Santa Ana winds. SDG&E crews restored power to all customers following patrols and inspections of power lines on foot and by air.

"Despite improved weather conditions, our region continues to experience unprecedented and prolonged dry conditions, creating high wildfire risk," the utility company said in a news release. "SDG&E encourages customers to remain prepared as we monitor weather models that are indicating additional Santa Ana winds early next week."
