Power outage may have caused more than $100M in losses to region

The collapse of the power system that cuts power to 2 million customers of San Diego Gas & Electric Co. may have resulted in $ 97 million to $ 118 million loss, according to an independent analysis of economic impact.

Erik W. Bruvold, president of the National University Institute for Policy Research for the system, said his "back of the envelope" analysis of failure on Thursday and the economic benefits shows that the more affected areas were locally overtime, lost productivity, and perishables and medicine.

"Coming from an estimate is difficult because these areas than you might think would have significant economic losses may have had backup generators. So it's really in the dark to find those who did not blow generators on time, "said Bruvold.
