You have a power outage 1) First, go to your main electrical panel to see if a fuse has blown or a breaker has tripped. Fuses must be replaced while breakers need only be reset. If the problem is not in your main panel, call a neighbor to determine if other homes in the area have been affected. If the problem is not in your home’s wiring and if several homes are involved, then call DPI. Our dispatch office is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day, including holidays. You may also use our online form to report an outage. 2) Please have your account number ready when calling. This is very important when reporting an outage. This number acts as a guide so we can locate your house. If you know the cause of the outage, please describe it (example: A limb is on the line, a pole has been hit by a car, etc.).
