People who live in Morgan Hill have dealt with four consecutive days of power outages, as a result of the extreme heat the region is facing.
"The equipment that we have throughout California is really being stressed. The extreme demand is also a part of that. We're seeing transformer failures and other equipment failures," said Teresa Alvarado, the Regional VP of PG&E's South Bay and Central Coast Region."Because of the successive days of heat on our system, we're seeing recurring issues - not on the same equipment - but in different parts of our service area.
Another Morgan Hill resident, Robert Taylor, says his power was out for several hours on Wednesday, and he expects it to happen again as long as the heat persists. "These are really unprecedented conditions. PG&E has responded. Our crews are out here every day. They are working really hard to restore power just as quickly as they can," Alvarado said."We're trying to get information out to customers really quickly as well so they can plan their lives and know when they can expect to have power again.
