Outage Response

When an outage occurs, you can be sure that our team is ready and prepared to respond, restoring power to all customers as soon as it is possible to do so safely.

Our Outage Management System (OMS) instantly notifies our team when an issue is detected, allowing us to fix issues before they cause outages or to begin working towards restoration as quickly as possible when outages do occur. This system integrates with other smart grid technologies such as our SCADA and FLISR systems to automatically isolate problem areas during an outage and redirect power immediately to as many customers as possible.


Issue Reporting Tool

Our new Issue Reporting tool will allow you to report issues with transformers and request tree trimming and pest control. If you notice an issue with our electrical grid, please click below to report it to our team.
