UPDATE (5:08 p.m.) - According to PG&E, the outage was triggered by the utility company's Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS), which automatically shuts off the power when something comes into contact with a power line.
Power has been restored to more than 1,400 customers in the originally affected area and PG&E expects power will be restored to the remaining customers by 9 p.m.
Another recent outage in the same area was also the result of PG&E's EPSS technology.
___
(4:14 p.m.) - Nearly 3,000 PG&E customers were without power Thursday afternoon in an outage affecting a large portion of the city of San Luis Obispo.
The outage began at 3:40 p.m.
It includes areas northeast of Santa Rosa Street from Marsh Street to Santa Rosa Park, Cal Poly, the Cuesta Grade, and areas to the east and west of Highway 101 south of Santa Margarita.
The outage is also affecting KSBY's transmitter site, so viewers with an antenna may not be able to receive our signal until power is restored.
