Updated: More Than 1,000 Without Power Wednesday Morning

Update: 1 p.m., Nov. 23: Power was restored to nearly 600 residents who were among more than 1,100 left without electricity early Wednesday morning due to equipment failure, PG&E officials are reporting.

The 572 residents who remained affected by the outage saw their power finally restored at 4:35 a.m, almost two hours after the blackout, said PG&E spokeswoman Monica Tell.

The cause of the outage appears to be equipment failure, although it is still under investigation, Tell said.

More than 1,100 customers were in the dark early this morning and about half of those customers are still without power near the Santa Clara-Santa Cruz county border, just south of Los Gatos, a PG&E spokeswoman said.

Power went out at 2:55 a.m. for 1,138 customers in an unincorporated area near Los Gatos, spokeswoman Jana Morris said.

As of 4:15 a.m., 572 customers were still without power.

Crews are on site of the outage, but there is no estimated time when power will be fully restored, according to Morris.

The area affected includes Summit Road, Sunset Drive, Belaire Court, Old Santa Cruz Highway, Mountain Charlie Road and Schulties Road, Morris said. The cause of the outage was not yet known, Morris said.
