As of 12 p.m., 11,824 customers are without power, Tamar Sarkissian, a spokesperson for PG&E, told SFGATE. Of those customers, the North Bay (3,888), East Bay (3,227) and South Bay (4,226) have the most outages in the Bay Area.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

There are only 348 outages reported in the Peninsula and 135 in San Francisco.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

Though the majority of the outages are because of weather issues, Sarkissian said some are because of the planned shutoffs and power should be restored by the evening. PG&E\u2019s first major public safety power shutoffs of the Bay Area fire season began Sunday, SFGATE previously reported.<\/p><\/div>

As of Monday morning, 685\u00a0outages were tied to planned power shutoffs, according to Sarkissian.<\/p><\/div>

Several\u00a0other California counties beyond the Bay Area were also part of the planned shutoff event, including Colusa, Fresno, Glenn, Lake, Merced, San Benito, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tehama and Yolo counties. In total, the utility shut off power for 4,700 customers since Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>
