Power Outage Affects Thousands in South Bay

Hundreds of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) customers were without power for hours Friday after an outage in the South Bay.

Power went out at about 4:50 p.m. and initially affected about 3,600 customers in the Rancho Del Rey, Eastlake and Otay Mesa areas, according to SDG&E. By 5:15 p.m., power had been restored to about half of those affected.

SDG&E crews were sent to investigate. The utility company estimated that power would be out for about two and a half hours. 

Shortly before 7:30 p.m., power was restored to all but 30 customers but said the remainder could be without power until 3 a.m. 

There was no word on what caused the outage but SDG&E said crews remained on scene to make repairs to utility equipment.
