A PG&E outage refers to a disruption of electrical service provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), a major utility provider in California. These outages can be planned, often for maintenance or safety upgrades, or unplanned, resulting from severe weather, equipment failure, or other unforeseen events. PG&E typically provides estimated restoration times and encourages customers to report outages and sign up for alerts to stay informed. During an outage, it's crucial to prioritize safety by using flashlights instead of candles, avoiding downed power lines, and keeping refrigerators and freezers closed to preserve food.
