Outage knocks out power for hundreds in SLO. When will electricity be back on?

Hundreds of people were without power in San Luis Obispo early Wednesday morning after an unplanned outage knocked out electricity for a large portion of the city.

According to PG&E’s outage map, 928 customers in the area along South Higuera Street between Elks Lane and Tank Farm Road were without power as of 1:20 a.m.

PG&E said crews were “evaluating the electrical system to identify damaged sections and make necessary repairs in order to safely turn the power back on.”

According to the map, there was no estimated time for when power might be back on.
