In order for PG&E to restore power after a PG&E power shutoff event, first the utility is required to inspect the lines to determine if they have been damaged in the course of the shutoff. To accomplish this, PG&E uses helicopters and ground teams. The time to inspect the lines can vary, but in most cases, power will be restored within 12 daylight hours after severe weather has passed.
