Are You Outage READY?
Power outages can happen unexpectedly for a variety of reasons. In extreme weather situations, power restoration can take hours or sometimes days. Members are encouraged to protect their families and be Outage READY before an outage or emergency occurs.
Streetlight Outage
You can easily report a streetlight that is not working properly. United Power will send a crew to evaluate streetlight issues as quickly as possible. (Repairs may take 10-14 days.)
Medically Necessary Devices
United Power understands extended outages are especially worrisome for members who rely on medical equipment. It is important for members to have a back up plan before outages occur.
Fire Safety & Power Outages
United Power's system is set to respond to extreme fire danger, such as Red Flag Warnings. These extra precautions ensure the safety of the distribution system and local communities.
Vegetation Management
United Power prioritizes trimming vegetation encroaching on its electrical equipment for outage prevention and mitigating wildfire risk.
Wildfire Mitigation
United Power's Wildfire Mitigation Plan protects the cooperative's infrastructure and reduces the risk of fire ignitions. The plan is continuously evaluated to address factors that influence those risks.
Planned Outage Notices
United Power may schedule planned outages for maintenance or perform extensive construction projects. When this work may impact members for an extended period of time, notices will be published here.
