Why does my neighbor have power but I don’t?

While some customers may not be experiencing high winds at their home or business, they may be served by a circuit which crosses a windy, high fire risk area before reaching their address. As a result, one block or neighborhood may have power while others don’t. We do our best to reduce outage impacts by temporarily switching neighborhoods to nearby circuits, but this is not always possible. At the end of a PSPS event, since all circuits must be visually inspected by crews before restoration, not all circuits will be restored at the same time.
