contain 65,811 county-level outage records (200+ customers at peak) in California between 2014 and 2025 across all 58 counties — 1,861 of them major events of 10,000+ customers.
Half were restored within about 8.8 hr. The busiest year on record was 2024.
Largest single-county outage on record: ~1,717,886 customers out in Los Angeles County in January 2025, restored after about 3.6 days.
Months that hit the widest area at once — these rank among the three largest outages ever recorded in the most counties: October 2019 (23 counties), February 2024 (9 counties) and August 2020 (8 counties).
Where restoration has historically taken longest: Los Angeles County (~35.5 hr typical), Santa Clara County (~14.8 hr typical) and San Bernardino County (~14 hr typical) — against ~8.8 hr statewide.

the statewide restoration figure is the typical (middle) value across the per-county typical times, weighted by how many records each county has. A county appears in a “widest area” month when that month
produced one of its three largest recorded outages.
