SDG&E reliability could slip by up to 3.4 minutes from South Orange County outage
A power outage overnight left 22,525 San Diego Gas & Electric customers in South Orange County without electricity. If power comes back by the utility’s 1 a.m. target, that outage would nudge the systemwide outage-duration metric up by only about 3.4 minutes, according to early calculations from reported milestones. The event is enough to show up in annual reliability stats, but seems too small for now to affect near-term earnings at Sempra, which owns the utility.
