The large power outage in San Francisco means that several city offices and other public buildings will be closed Monday, the sheriff’s office said. City Hall, the Main Library, the Civic Center Garage, Muni customer service on Van Ness Avenue, and offices at 525 Golden Gate, 101 Grove St., and 1 Van Ness Ave. will be closed Monday. The War Memorial’s Veterans Building and the Asian Art Museum will also not be open to the public without restoration of power, the sheriff’s office said. Power was restored for thousands of PGE customers on Sunday afternoon, but about 14,000 customers were still without electricity by Sunday evening. San Francisco Supervisors Connie Chan and Alan Wong released statements Sunday reaching out to their constituents and giving updates. Wong also called for a public hearing on what he said are repeat outages in his district, and to see why this weekend’s blackout, which began at a PGE substation fire, ended up spreading to affect almost one-third of the city, his office said. “It’s important that we fully understand what happened,” said Wong in a statement from his office. “We still don’t have a clear explanation for how a localized incident escalated into an outage affecting so many neighborhoods. This hearing is about getting answers, improving communication, and making sure residents and small businesses are better supported going forward.” Wong said he will propose the hearing at an upcoming board of supervisors meeting. PGE opened a resource center in the Richmond District, one of the areas still without power Sunday, at 251 18th Avenue, that will be open from 5 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. It will offer snacks, drinks, Wi-Fi, and charging stations. It will reopen on Monday at 8 a.m., the utility said. A PGE spokesperson, Andria Borba, said in a video posted on X that power was estimated to be restored by 2 p.m. Monday for those remaining customers, which were mostly on the city’s west side, Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, along with patches of blocks downtown. About 130,000 customers lost power Saturday afternoon after a fire broke out at a PGE substation in the SoMa District, causing “significant damage,” according to the utility company. ...read more read less
