Thousands of PG&E customers in San Joaquin County affected by power outages unrelated to safety shutoffs
TRACY — Tens of thousands of PG&E customers in San Joaquin County were without power Thursday evening due to an unplanned power outage unrelated to the Public Safety Power Shutoffs across the state.
Around 36,000 customers in San Joaquin County were affected by an unplanned outage, according to the company's online outage map just before 6 p.m.
The majority of the affected customers were in the cities of Tracy, Manteca, and Lathrop.
PG&E said crews began "de-energizing" some customers in the county around 4:30 p.m. to rebalance the grid. This outage is not related to the Public Safety Power Shutoffs impacting the county and others across California through this weekend.
PG&E said the outage was expected to last around 90 to 120 minutes.
