Nearly a Third of San Francisco Loses Electricity

Power Outage Affects Over One Hundred Thousand Residents

On Saturday morning, a massive outage knocked out electricity for approximately 124,000 customers across the city, representing nearly one‑third of San Francisco’s total service base of 414,000 accounts.

Utility officials reported that the disruption began shortly after sunrise and quickly spread through several neighborhoods, leaving many homes and businesses in the dark.

Engineers are working around the clock to locate the fault and restore power, but officials warned that full service could take several hours, urging residents to conserve energy and stay safe until the grid is stabilized.
