SDG&E Outages: Live Status & Outage Map
SDG&E doesn't share live outage data with DOE's ODIN feed, so we can't show its current outage count. Use its official outage map (linked below) for real-time status.
PowerOutageTracker is independent and not affiliated with SDG&E. In an emergency or if you see a downed line, call 911.
How reliable is SDG&E?
Form EIA-861 reliability metrics for 2025, by state, compared with each state's average
| State | Customers | Outage time / customer | Outages / customer | Avg. restoration | State average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| California | 1,541,412 | 2 hr 10 min | 0.54 | 4 hr 2 min | 5 hr 58 min |
Outage time = SAIDI, outages = SAIFI, restoration = CAIDI, all including major events, as reported on Form EIA-861 (2025). Storm exposure differs a lot between territories, so one year is not a full verdict.
