Supervisor Alan Wong Addresses Sixth Power Outage Affecting the Sunset District This Month
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (December 29, 2025) – A planned power outage that occurred at midnight marked the sixth power outage impacting the Sunset District this month. The outage affected a small portion of the Sunset neighborhood and was related to PG&E turning off temporary generators operating near Golden Gate Park and a neighboring district.
The temporary generators were installed following the Mission Substation outage on December 20, and the shutdown occurred as part of the transition process.
Supervisor Alan Wong has been sharing information with constituents as soon as confirmation is received from PG&E regarding affected areas and expected restoration timelines. Despite these efforts, Supervisor Alan Wong’s office continues to hear concerns from residents about inaccurate or delayed outage notifications, unclear or shifting restoration estimates, and challenges navigating the compensation process. Constituents have also reported that the $200 compensation is insufficient to offset the disruptions caused by repeated outages and that the claims process remains difficult to access and understand.
Supervisor Alan Wong is also expecting a response from PG&E by the end of today regarding the letter he sent following the December 7 and December 10 outages, the first two outages impacting the Sunset District this month.
“As these outages continue, accurate outage notifications, clear restoration timelines, and accessible claims processes are essential,” said Supervisor Alan Wong. “My office will continue to press for improvements in communication, restoration transparency, and resident support.”
Supervisor Alan Wong and his office will remain engaged with colleagues, city departments, and utility providers and will continue to share updates with the community as more information becomes available.
