    Power Outage Areas

    Metadata Updated: March 23, 2026

    The power outages in this layer are pulled directly from the utility public power outage maps and is automatically updated every 15 minutes. This dataset represents only the most recent power outages and does not contain any historical data. 
     

      The following utility companies are included:
    • Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)
    • Southern California Edison (SCE)
    • San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E)
    • Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)
    Layers included in this dataset:
    • Power Outage Incidents - Point layer that shows data from all of the utilities and is best for showing a general location of the outage and driving any numbers in dashboards.
    • Power Outage Areas - Polygon layer that shows rough power outage areas from PG&E only (They are the only company that feeds this out publicly). With in the PG&E territory this layer is useful to show the general area out of power. The accuracy is limited by how the areas are drawn, but is it good for a visual of the impacted area.
    • Power Outages by County - This layer summaries the total impacted customers by county. This layer is good for showing where outages are on a statewide scale.
