PG&E Wildfire Power Shutoffs Enter Third Day; Restoration Expected Saturday Morning
Nearly 86,000 PG&E customers across California remained without electricity Friday morning as wildfire-prevention shutoffs entered a third day, with 9,100 affected in San Luis Obispo County. PG&E estimated power would return by Saturday morning or noon in many Sierra Nevada foothill communities, though restoration depends on weather safety and equipment inspections. The utility activated its Emergency Operations Center in Vacaville as offshore winds and dry vegetation continued to pose wildfire risks through the weekend.
