Thousands of San Diego Gas & Electric customers were without power Tuesday for several hours, including buildings on the campus of San Diego State University.
Customers in Poway, Kensington and the La Mesa areas were without service at 1 p.m., according to SDG&E officials.
SDSU Police confirmed power outages at the International Student Center, Albert's Housing Area, University Towers and Granada.
An electrical box on the campus was opened and cordoned off with safety tape on 55th Street and Lindo Paseo.
Several street lights were not functioning from Montezuma and College to Campanile Drive.
A Twitter account with SDSU Network Services reported the wireless and wired networks in those areas were down as well.
In about an hour, SDG&E said Kensington customers had power restored. Ninety minutes after the initial outage, customers in Poway had power again as well as those in SDSU Granada, PDS and Pride Center, according to the utility.
By 4 p.m., a majority of customers had their power restored; however, 158 customers in the La Mesa area were still without power.
