Questions

How do I check for a power outage by ZIP code?

Type your ZIP code into the check on this page. It shows the utilities that serve it, with a link to each one's official outage map, and the National Weather Service alerts in effect there. Your utility's outage map is the live picture of outages and restoration.

Is there a power outage in my area right now?

Your utility's outage map is the place to check: it shows outages it knows about and, usually, when power is expected back. If your area isn't on the map, report the outage to your utility, because it may not know yet.

Who is my electric utility?

Your electric bill names it. The ZIP check on this page shows the utilities likely to serve your ZIP code, from NREL's 2024 utility-by-ZIP data, but some ZIP codes are split between utilities.
