About this data

Each row is one outage on PG&E's outage map at one map build. It includes the estimated customers out, cause, crew status, outage start, estimated time of restoration, circuit, city, county and a map point. Public Safety Power Shutoffs appear alongside ordinary outages and are marked as such. Following one outage across map builds shows how its customer count and restoration estimate changed. The data also feeds the customer outages and grid events layers on the map.

What people use it for

  • See where PG&E customers are without power right now
  • Track how a restoration estimate changed over an outage
  • Count customers out by county or circuit
  • Identify Public Safety Power Shutoff events
