More than 5,000 residents in Carlsbad are currently facing a power outage as reported by San Diego Gas and Electric on Wednesday morning. The outage, which began around 11:30 a.m., is impacting a total of 5,331 customers in the Carlsbad and La Costa areas. SDG&E has estimated that power will be fully restored by 2 p.m. on Wednesday, but the exact cause of the outage is still under investigation.
Power outages can be disruptive and inconvenient, especially for those who rely on electricity for their daily activities. It is important for residents to stay updated on the situation and follow any instructions provided by SDG&E. In the meantime, it is advised to conserve energy and avoid unnecessary power usage to help expedite the restoration process.
During power outages, it is crucial to prioritize safety. Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer unnecessarily to prevent food spoilage, and use flashlights instead of candles to reduce the risk of fire hazards. If using a generator, make sure it is placed outdoors in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
As the situation continues to unfold, residents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels for updates on the restoration progress. SDG&E is working diligently to resolve the issue and restore power to all affected customers as quickly as possible. Stay tuned for further developments on this ongoing situation.
