PG&E Outage Status

About This Site

This site pulls data from PG&E directly to deliver the most accurate and up-to-date outage information per address. While this site is going to be more accurate than other maps just showing large areas, this site relies on the PG&E website database to be functioning. While it has previously been working when their website was not, it is also having regular outages.

As this is a third-party tool, this site is not affiliated in any way with PG&E, and was created to serve the community.

Error Messages

Because this site relies on the PG&E web database (known as an API) to function; if the PG&E API goes down, this site won't work. You might see an error like "502" or "403". If you see an error message, you can try refreshing the page. If results still fail to load, try again some time later.

I wish I could provide a better solution, but since this relies on PG&E it's not 100% reliable.

Status API

The Status API checks PG&E outage information for a place or address and returns JSON. Send a GET request to https://pgestatus.com/api/v1/status with a required location query parameter. The location is resolved through Apple Maps, and the API supports California street addresses.

curl --get --data-urlencode "location=Apple Park" "https://pgestatus.com/api/v1/status"

A successful response looks like this:

{
  "string": "No Outage Reported by PG&E",
  "color": "#30f27a",
  "status": "clear",
  "glyphColor": "#1A3F24",
  "address": "1 Apple Park Way, Cupertino, CA 95014",
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-15T18:23:37.527Z"
}

The status field is machine-readable (clear, current, future, or delayed); string contains the display message. Requests are limited to 30 per minute per IP. Errors can return HTTP 400, 404, 422, 429, or 502. See the OpenAPI specification for the response schema and error details.

Responses are cached at the edge for about 15 minutes.

Always check the official PG&E Outage Map (if it is available) for official details
