Residents and Business Owners Demand Higher PG&E Bill Credits Following Blackout

December 30, 2025 - 00:39

A significant power outage on December 20 left many San Francisco residents and business owners frustrated and seeking compensation. The blackout was triggered by a fire that broke out that afternoon at a PG&E substation located at the intersection of 8th and Mission streets. This disruption not only affected daily life for countless individuals but also had a severe impact on local businesses that rely on consistent electricity for their operations.

In the wake of the outage, many community members voiced their concerns about the adequacy of the bill credits offered by PG&E. They argue that the current compensation does not sufficiently cover the losses incurred during the blackout. Local residents and business owners are calling for increased credits to reflect the inconvenience and financial strain they experienced due to the unexpected power interruption.

As discussions continue, the demand for more substantial support highlights the ongoing challenges faced by residents in ensuring reliable utility services and fair compensation in the event of service disruptions.
