Three thousand PG&E customers in San Luis Obispo were without power yesterday for several hours.
PG&E’s outage map showed most of the outage affected much of Cal Poly and the north side along highway 101 to Santa Margarita.
The outage began at around 5 in the evening, and was restored several hours later.
The outage was likely caused by PG&E’s enhanced powerline safety settings, turning power off in a tenth of a second if an object strikes a power line.
