PG&E crews went to a power substation in Richmond at around 1 a.m. to investigate a possible equipment failure that was interrupting power to around 22,000 customers in Richmond and San Pablo, PG&E spokesman J.D. Guidi said.
Crews found that at least two raccoons had gotten into the substation and were interfering with equipment.
The raccoons were removed from the premises and power was fully restored at 4:07 a.m., Guidi said.
