PG&E customers power outages last longer and occur more often than any other electrical provider in the California, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday.
California Public Utilities Commission records reveal that the average PG&E customer lost power for almost seven hours during 2008. For the same time period, the average Southern California Edison customer lost power for nearly two hours.
For comparison, the typical Southern California Edison customer went without power for almost two hours in 2008. San Diego Gas and Electric customers spent just under an hour without electricity.
Last week, an underground electrical vault in the Tenderloin exploded in a fireball, leaving customers in the area without power until the weekend. The cause of this explosion and fire remains unsolved.
