SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Roughly 17,000 customers are still without electricity in San Francisco Sunday following a widespread outage Saturday afternoon, which initially cut power to 130,000 customers throughout the city.
The lingering outage is primarily affecting customers in the Presidio, the Richmond District, Golden Gate Park and a section of the Tenderloin.
The outage was caused by a fire at a substation at 8th and Mission Streets, PG&E told KRON4 News. Power has since been restored to more than 100,000 customers.

PG&E expects to restore power to all remaining customers impacted by the substation outage by no later than 2 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 22, according to a social media post from the company.
“The damage from the fire in our substation was significant and extensive, and the repairs and safe restoration will be complex,” a PG&E spokesperson told KRON4 News. “Cause is still being investigated. At this time, we are unable to provide a precise timeframe for full restoration but will provide additional detail and information as our assessment and repair efforts continue.”
