About this view

See customer outage reports by county

The table shows counties with active customer outage reports across California, using ODIN outage data. Counts describe reported meters without service and reflect the utilities and observations available in the source.

Investigate an affected county

Open the map to select a county and inspect its outage reports alongside the surrounding grid. Customer outage counts do not identify a failed transmission line or establish that the regional grid operator has declared an emergency.

Questions

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.

Will the map open with these layers?

Yes. It carries the same layers, filters, viewport, and timeline state shown on this page into the live CAISO workspace.
