PG&E has announced there could be more customers without power this Thursday as part of a planned power outage.
The previous announcement said it could only impact about 7,000 customers, but that has grown to more than 10,000. The map of potential outages has grown, and is available on PG&E’s website. Affected areas include Creston, rural parts of the county at highway 46 west, Morro road, and Cuesta and Cal Poly’s campus. Customers can check their address to see if they are included in the potential shutdown.
The power shutoff is not guaranteed to happen. It is projected to start Thursday, October 15th at 2:30 am, and is due to strong offshore winds leading to increased risk of wildfires across San Luis Obispo county.
