The top of the list
Why do Malibu, Topanga and Calabasas lose power the most?
Edison's wind shutoffs: in 2025 they were the largest cause of outage minutes in every one of the 10 places at the top of this list, including Malibu at 61%, Topanga (Edison's 3rd District figure) at 69% and Calabasas at 79%. Each share is from that place's own Edison report (Edison, City of Malibu, p. 5, Edison, Unincorporated Los Angeles County, 3rd District, p. 5 and Edison, City of Calabasas, p. 5). A wind shutoff is Edison switching a circuit off on purpose ahead of high wind, and the power stays off until the wind drops and crews have inspected the line; wind shutoffs explains how they work.
The outages are long, not just frequent. The average Malibu customer had about 13 outages over the two years, which averages about 26 hours each (Edison, City of Malibu, p. 4, minutes divided by outages).
The bottom of the list
Which places lose the least power?
Santa Monica lost the least, 1.6 hours over the two years, then Oxnard at 5.2 and Santa Barbara at 5.3. In all three, the largest cause in 2025 was equipment failure, not wind shutoffs (Edison, City of Santa Monica, p. 5, Edison, City of Oxnard, p. 5 and Edison, City of Santa Barbara, p. 5).
At home
What do 100 hours without power mean in a house?
A hundred hours is just over four days. A closed refrigerator keeps food safe for about 4 hours without power, and a full freezer about 48 (FoodSafety.gov). The food is only the start: the internet, the alarm, the gate, the well or booster pump and anything medical that runs on a plug go off the moment the power does.
A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch takes the house over on its own, whether anyone is home or not, and carries it for days on natural gas or propane. What stays on shows what it carries, room by room. County Line Electric installs and services Generac standby generators in every place on this list.

How was this ranking made?
Each place's figure is Edison's SAIDI for that city or county district: the minutes the average customer was without power during the year, counting every outage over five minutes, wind shutoffs and major storm days included, scheduled maintenance left out. 2024 and 2025 are added together and shown in hours (Edison reliability reports by city, p. 4 of each). The method for each town, year by year, is on the Power Outage Board.
Where is the full record for my town?
Every place on the ranking links to its own page on County Line Electric's Power Outage Board, with the four years from 2022 to 2025, the 2025 causes and the wind shutoffs Edison filed with the state for November 2025 through October 2026. Type a ZIP code at the top of this page to jump to yours.
