Outage Notification is now available through SmartHub! Your co-op works hard to improve system reliability and keep the lights on, but we all know that power outages happen on occasion. Make sure you’re signed up for our outage notifications to receive a text and/or email informing you of the status of any outage affecting your property. The messages are sent after a power outage has been reported that affects your property. You will also be notified of the estimated time to restore power. A final message will be sent when power is restored.

Calling to Report an Outage is Still Important

If you are home, please call us to report an outage as soon as possible. If we have your primary phone number on file, our system will recognize that number and instantly pinpoint your location. This leads to quicker deployment of line crews, faster repair time and shorter outage duration. Your call to report an outage makes the notification system work and provide quick notification to other affected members. To report power outages lasting longer than a few minutes, call (800) 552-7658.
