More than 11,000 Portland General Electric customers were left without power Saturday night as outages rippled across the Portland area, according to the utility's outage map. The map showed 112 active outages as of 10 p.m., a snapshot of a problem that stretched across multiple parts of the city rather than hitting one isolated pocket.
As reported by KPTV, the outage map was showing 112 active power outages impacting 11,175 customers at the 10 p.m. count. The station noted the outages were spread across the Portland area, rather than concentrated in a single neighborhood.
Crews Dispatched, Restoration Targeted for Early Morning
PGE said on its website that crews were being sent out to investigate and deal with the issues, with the station's report noting an estimated restoration time in the early morning hours. That timeline suggested overnight repairs for the thousands of households and businesses affected.
Beyond those details, the outlet's report indicated no other information was available at the time of publication. Customers looking for updates can check PGE's outage map directly for the latest status on restoration efforts in their area.
