From time to time, power outages occur for various reasons across our service territory. In most cases, power is restored in a short time but sometimes, more serious outages are possible. Tornadoes, thunderstorms, ice storms, fierce winds and extreme heat strain the power delivery system and can prolong power restoration. The company's personnel are well trained and well prepared to handle such events as quickly and safely as possible.
