Planned Outages

From time to time, planned outages are needed so we can work safely on a number of system upgrades including:

  • Maintenance: Replacing aging or damaged electrical equipment.
  • Reliability Projects: upgrades to increase electric reliability
  • Growth of our System: Building out our system to support future growth.

Planned Power Outages

Stay Prepared

At home: 

  • If you rely on medical equipment dependent on electricity, have a plan to maintain use of your equipment during the outage or be moved to a location that will have power.
  • Charge your cell phones. Cordless phones will not work during a power outage.
  • Unplug computers, televisions and sensitive electronics.
  • Know how to manually operate garage doors and electric gates.
  • Minimize opening refrigerator and freezer doors during the outage.
  • Unless installed by a licensed electrician, standby or portable generators should NOT be connected to your electric service panel or any electrical outlet. Failure to install a standby generator safely and properly could endanger you, our employees, or the public.
