If You Lose Power

First, check your neighbors to see if their power is out, too, or if only your location is affected.

If Only Your Lights are Out

  1. Check your circuit breakers or fuses.
  2. If no breaker is tripped or fuse is blown, the problem may be in the connection between our wires and your home. Report your outage using one of the following methods:

      Text REG to 544487 (LIGHTS) to get started.
  3. Follow the other steps to take during an outage.
  4. If you choose to use a backup generator during an outage, please review these tips to use it safely.
