Power was restored in about an hour to most of those homes.
A PG&E spokesperson told Action News the company found a broken switch that caused the outage.
At about 10:15 am, almost 3,300 customers on Shaw Avenue between Hwy 168 and Villa in Clovis lost power.
As of now, a total of 3,917 homes are without power in Fresno County.
The utility company says they're looking into what caused the outage.
