Update: Pg&E Still Investigating Power Outage Thursday And Friday - SFGate: PG&E is still investigating a power outage affecting 61,000 customers in Marin County Thursday and Friday. The outage that started around 11 p.m. Thursday affected an area from Sausalito and Belvedere to Novato and communities in between, PG&E spokeswoman Deanna Contreras said. Power was back on by 1:30 a.m. Friday, Contreras said. PG&E was conducting emergency repair work at its Ignacio substation in Marin County while another unrelated repair project was under way nearby, Contreras said. "There was an issue with the set-up of protective systems for the projects which resulted in the outage. This was not a public safety power shutoff situation," Contreras said. "We are still investigating how this happened. We restored power within 2.5 hours and we appreciate everyone's patience," Contreras said.
