About 168 customers still without power in Nevada, Sierra counties | PG&E Update

Pacific Gas & Electric said Tuesday evening that over 100 customers are still without power in the Sierra Division following late December winter storms.

GRASS VALLEY, Calif. — This story has been updated with new information from PG&E as of 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Pacific Gas & Electric spokesperson Megan McFarland said Tuesday that over 100 customers remain without power following late December winter storms.

Many customers in the Sierra lost power around Christmas with as many as 60,000 customers without power at times. As of Jan. 11, the majority of those without power are in Sierra County.

Here is a breakdown of the outages by county:

Sierra County: 142

Nevada County: 26

McFarland said power has been restored to those in El Dorado and Placer Counties.

ABC10 previously reported that PG&E said Jan. 11 is the estimated time of restoration for people living in the Sierra who lost power.
