This is impacting my district on Christmas Eve. PG&E is focused on investor profits over California residents. They have paid off Sacramento politicians. It's time to make it a customer owned utility.

PG&E had record profits last year at $2.5 billion. Its CEO made $51 million in 2021. All while Californians pay 2x as much for electricity with blackouts more than 2x the length of the national average. We need structural change.

The untold story of SF power outage: Sunday was a major Chinese holiday for Cantonese families, 冬大过年. I interviewed many immigrants & highlighted their voices in our stories. @sfstandard @aajasf

This weekend made it clear. Power outages are now an operating risk for SF food businesses. https://t.co/kIoIzxSDgd
The @PGE_BayArea claim policy says food loss for residents and inventory loss for businesses will not be covered. That is not acceptable. Their negligence caused the outage, again, they must compensate people for real losses.

It is so unfair and it just makes it that much harder to have small businesses in San Francisco. Who can survive this happening at least once a year?

Historical fun fact: today is not the first time @PGE4Me plunged large swaths of San Francisco into darkness on the Saturday before Christmas — among the busiest shopping days of the year — and today’s outage would appear to involve the same substation to blame 22 years ago.

This power outage is completely unacceptable. PG&E had a fire at this exact substation on the exact date 23 years ago, which left 120,000 San Franciscans in the dark. And before that in 1996! When do we say enough is enough?

There should be a class action lawsuit against @PGE4Me
Jesse Ahluwalia, the owner of the Laundry Corner, a laundromat and wash-and-fold service in the city's Richmond District, said his business was still without power on Sunday. When the electricity first went out at about 1:45 p.m. on Saturday, he said the machines locked

Here’s the front of the pge substation that blew up yesterday from 2021. This shit looked like this for months. I call the area electric avenue. The Hondos spent years killing people here.

We pay some of highest utility bills in the country, but all we get are some of the highest paid utility executives in the country. It's absurd. We should have the most advanced grid in the country, but it's falling apart. No more talk. Time to change. Kick PG&E out of SF.

Sacramento and Palo Alto don’t have PG&E, they have public power. They pay about half as much as us in utility bills and do not have weekend-long power outages. We could have that in San Francisco.

As of 4pm to say there is a power outage in San Francisco is a bit of an understatement... I don't recall seeing the PG&E page look this way for outages in SF before @nbcbayarea 12/20/2025 https://t.co/un0x5Gb0xF

Not to be outdone by their performance just two weeks ago, @PGE4Me has taken down power for almost a quarter of San Francisco today. This kind of operational excellence is what justifies us paying the highest energy rates in the Continental US.
Congrats to @PGE4Me on taking down power for 1/6 of San Francisco this morning. No one does it like @PGE4Me.

When the sf power outage map grows every hour & the time estimate for its return gets pushed out another 2.5hrs to 5.30pm... you know how monopolies work. Restaurants, bars and holiday events must be losing millions 4 days before xmas eve https://t.co/b7P0muG4h7

How can we run businesses in a city when @PGE4Me is monopoly and its so unreliable? It’s not just lost business of that day for restaurants but it’s lost inventory, labor spent on the inventory, and wages of staff PG&E is not meeting their societal obligations they charge for.
