Reported East Bay power outage was computer glitch

(BCN) - PG&E officials said a computer error was responsible for incorrectly reporting that more than 77,000 East Bay customers were affected by a power outage on Wednesday evening.

The power company's website had reported thousands without power, about 6 p.m., in El Cerrito, Kensington and Albany, along with parts of Berkeley, San Pablo and Richmond.

A spokeswoman said shortly after 8 p.m. that the outage never occurred and that a computer system error was to blame for posting the false information on the PG&E site.
