Where this data comes from
Numbers on this page come from Pacific Gas & Electric's public outage data — the same data behind its official outage map — collected on a rotating cycle (each utility typically refreshes within the hour; the card above shows exactly when these numbers were last collected). When the utility posts a restoration time we show it as the official estimate; our independent estimate is computed from the outage's own recovery trend and graded publicly. Coverage and level of detail vary by utility: some break out towns and neighborhoods, others publish only county or area totals.
Not affiliated with Pacific Gas & Electric. Report outages and downed lines to the utility directly via its official outage site ↗ — never rely on this page for emergencies.
Common questions
How do I report a power outage to Pacific Gas & Electric?
Report outages and downed lines directly to Pacific Gas & Electric through its official outage site or its outage phone line — crews are dispatched from customer reports. This page is an independent tracker, not affiliated with Pacific Gas & Electric; never rely on it for emergencies. In a life-threatening situation, call 911.
Does Pacific Gas & Electric give an estimated restoration time?
When Pacific Gas & Electric posts an estimated restoration time for an outage, we show it as the official estimate. Alongside it we show our own independent estimate from the outage's live recovery trend — useful when the utility hasn't posted a time yet. Both appear side by side.
Why isn't my outage showing for Pacific Gas & Electric?
A brand-new or single-customer outage may not appear in the utility's public data yet, and the level of detail varies — some Pacific Gas & Electric data breaks out towns and neighborhoods, other sources publish county or area totals only. If your power is out and it isn't listed, report it to Pacific Gas & Electric so it enters their system.
How accurate is the Pacific Gas & Electric restoration estimate?
Our independent estimates are graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), published on our accuracy page. Pacific Gas & Electric's own posted restoration times are graded there too, so you can compare them.
