The firestorms raging across Southern California are causing power transmission problems throughout the region.
About two dozen transmission lines have been knocked out, California Independent System Operator spokesman Gregg Fishman said.
Some are back in operation but power managers can’t move power as efficiently as usual.
“San Diego in particular is feeling the brunt of this,” Fishman said. “The impact has been significant enough that we declared a transmission emergency, which gives us the ability to react more quickly.”
Customers in San Diego were asked to conserve.
