Cupertino Power Outage Hits Thousands of Customers

Thousands of PG&E customers in Cupertino were hit by a power outage that began late Sunday night, a utility spokesman said.

The outage, which affected 2,276 customers, was reported just before midnight, spokesman Jason King said.

Mid-morning today, only 33 customers remained without power. Those customers are expected to have power restored sometime around 3:30 p.m., King said.

According to PG&E’s outage web page, “Field personnel have found a connection that needs to be repaired” and a crew is onsite.

The outage area included customers in the northeastern area roughly bordered by Interstate Highway 280, Stevens Creek Boulevard, Wolfe Road, and Pruneridge and Tantau avenues, including streets that are part of Sunnyvale.

The cause of the outage is under investigation, he said.
