SDG&E power outages hit nearly 10,000 customers in San Diego County

Nearly 10,000 customers lost power in San Diego County during the latest sdge power outage on Tuesday night, local TV outlets reported.

Fox 5 San Diego said “Nearly 10000 SDGE customers lost power across San Diego County on Tuesday night due to weather and equipment damage,” placing the scale of the disruption across multiple neighborhoods.

SDG&E’s outage detail page noted that “Our equipment has been damaged and our crews need to make repairs,” and said crews were working to restore service while the cause remained under investigation.

San Diego’s ABC 10News reported that, according to SDG&E, power had been restored by midday in many affected areas: “As of 12:30 p.m., power has been restored, according to SDG&E.” That update framed the event as a short-lived but widespread outage affecting homes and small businesses.

SDG&E’s public outage map and outage center provide minute-by-minute updates for customers; the company also encourages signing up for outage alerts and using its report tools, according to its outage pages and social posts.

Local reporting tied the outages to a mix of weather and equipment damage, and said SDG&E crews were dispatched to multiple locations to make repairs. The utility’s public pages list both planned and unplanned outages and advise customers to report service interruptions.

For residents still seeking information, SDG&E’s outage center lists current outages and restoration notes, and the utility’s social account points users to sdge.com/outages for live updates.
