Two PG&E power outages occurred yesterday in the county: one in San Luis Obispo and one in Atascadero.
The Atascadero outage affected about 1700 PG&E customers, including Atascadero high school. Power was eventually restored later in the day after PG&E conducted their safety search.
The outage was caused by the enhanced safety settings, which PG&E says will slowly go offline once winter arrives. Enhanced safety settings shuts off power in a tenth of a second when an object strikes a power line.
