What this shows
What this View shows
County-level power outage data from ODIN (Outage Data Initiative), the aggregator California-area utilities report into. Each county's active outage total is a snapshot from ODIN's most recent poll.
Why it matters
A county with a large, sudden outage often coincides with severe weather, wildfire-related de-energization, or a system-wide event elsewhere on this map — reading outages next to demand and generation surfaces the wider picture before official damage assessments catch up.

What people ask
Is “meters out” the same as customers without power?+
It's ODIN's own unit — a meter, not a person or household count. Treat it as a consistent relative measure across counties, not a precise customer-impact figure.
How current is this data?+
It reflects ODIN's most recent poll of reporting utilities, typically updated every few minutes to a few hours depending on the utility. A county with no active outage row simply had none reported at the last poll.
Does this distinguish a weather outage from a Public Safety Power Shutoff?+
No. ODIN reports an active outage total, not a cause. A cause claim (weather, equipment failure, a planned de-energization) requires a current authoritative utility or emergency-management source, not this table.
Does “Open in Map” restore this exact view?+
Yes. It carries the same layers, filters, viewport, and timeline state shown on this page into the live CAISO workspace — the same save/restore system behind a personal saved view.
