SAN JOSE – The lights are back on for roughly 10,000 Pacific Gas & Electric Co. customers who lost power during an unplanned outage Monday afternoon in San Jose.

The outage was reported just after 3:30 p.m. and was centered at the interchange of Highway 101 and Interstate 280/680, according to PG&E spokesperson Paul Moreno.

“We do not yet know the cause and apologize to our customers for the temporary disruption in service,” Moreno said in an email around 5:30 p.m. “Crews are on site now to inspect for a potential cause and develop a repair and restoration plan.”

The number of customers without power shrank to 3,767 by 7:45 p.m. according to PG&E spokesperson Edgar Hopida. Service was restored to all customers by 8:45 p.m.

Hopida said the utility is still investigating the cause of the outage.
