PG&E Restores Power To 5,000 Berkeley Customers

BERKELEY, CA — PG&E crews have restored power to nearly all of the more than 5,800 customers affected by an outage in Berkeley this morning, a utility spokesman said.

The outage was initially reported at 6:58 a.m. and while there were multiple reports of a loud noise when the outage started, its cause hasn't been determined, PG&E spokesman J.D. Guidi said.

Initially, 5,861 customers lost power, but that number dropped to 5,073 as of 8 a.m. and then all the way down to 27 customers as of 8:30 a.m., Guidi said.

He said the remaining customers without power are all along Delaware Street.

Crews are working "as quickly and as safely as possible" to restore power to the remaining customers and to determine the cause of the outage, he said.
