Emergencies and Outage Information

OutageWhat happens if I have an emergency or power outage?

Contacting your local TDSP (meter, wires and poles) company is the fastest way to get a response to an emergency or power outage situation, because regardless of which Retail Electric Provider you choose, your TDSP company is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the equipment designed to flow power to your service location.  Please check your bill for the TDSP that covers your area.
