Power Problems

With 2.2 million customers spread across 7,600 square miles of service area, isolated power outages can occur daily. Most often, these disturbances last just a few seconds, but some may last longer, depending upon the cause. While weather is the most common culprit, events like vehicle accidents or small animals contacting power lines can also cause outages. Learn more about power problems by following the links below.
