The planned power outages that PG&E began overnight will last well into tomorrow as the Diablo Wind event blows on. Many customers wonder, once the winds die down, why it takes so long to restore power when the winds are light and breezy, and the birds are singing.
The planned power outages that Pacific Gas and Electric began overnight will last well into Thursday as the Diablo Wind event blows on. Many customers wonder, once the winds die down, why it takes so long to restore power when the winds are light and breezy. Planned power outages are designed to stop wildfires, but one of the problems is, thousands of folks have to go through this and that could last for hours, if not days.
"I mean we go through this every year, that one or two power outages and very little progress appears to be being made," Plevin said. "I think there could be a more effective process. What that is I'm not really sure. However, I do think there could be a more efficient process. It would be definitely helpful, more helpful if they did extend and have like a better idea of the amount of time they would need," said resident Tursika Bennett.
