Lake and Napa counties are almost fully restored. All other North Bay and North Coast areas were 100 percent restored.

PG&E said it has identified 50 instances of weather-related damage to its system in the PSPS-impacted areas, and the company is working on repairs. Examples include downed lines and vegetation on power lines.

PG&E said it will provide a report detailing the damages to the CPUC within 10 days of completing the PSPS.
