When storms damage our energy system, the EPB Smart Grid attempts to reroute power to affect fewer people. While it may not look like it makes sense, sometimes damage affects extremely specific areas and it’s not always obvious why the outage is occurring just from looking at the scene. You can view local maps that are automatically updated in real-time and show you where the outages have occurred, how many households are affected and which areas are being restored, get restoration estimates or updates and monitor repair progress here on our website or by downloading the free MyEPB app to set outage alerts, report outages and view outage maps on the App Store or Google Play.
