NBC Bay Area · last updated

Thousands of PG&E customers in San Francisco lost power Saturday morning, according to the utility’s outage map.

The outage hit the northwest of the city at about 9:52 a.m., including the Presidio, Golden Gate Park and Richmond District. Initially, the utility said about 9,400 customers were affected.

As of 4 p.m., PG&E announced power was restored to all customers.

PG&E says crews were conducting a routine operational procedure between two substations around 9:45 a.m., when protective device on the system was activated and led to an outage.

The San Francisco Department of Energy said traffic signals could be impacted in the area and reminded drivers to treat those intersections as four-way stop signs.

PG&E is investigating the cause of the outage.
