Grid down incoming.
I assume it’s PGE.Keep raising the rates and less dependable service.Oh wait we have to raise the rates to fix your problem.
Not that part of Martinez but PG&E had trucks down the street earlier. I didn’t go look but I think they may have been replacing the large transformers with smaller ones. Some poles in the area have 4 small transformers which makes sense and less costly to replace.
And what will happen when everything is electrical based? PG&E can’t keep up with the demand now.
