Why Has There Been a Power Outage?

A power outage occurs when the electricity supply to homes and businesses is either partially or completely interrupted.

Generally, these outages fall into two main categories: planned and unplanned.

Each type has distinct causes, and understanding them can help you gauge how long it might take for your power to be restored:

1. Planned Outages
   A planned power outage typically involves a scheduled disconnection of the electricity supply by the utility company to perform essential grid maintenance. You'll usually receive advance notice, allowing you to make necessary preparations while the power is off.
2. Unplanned Outages
   Unplanned power outages are sudden and unexpected, often resulting from damage to the power lines. These can last considerably longer than planned cuts and are frequently triggered by severe weather events such as heavy snowfall, flooding, or storms.

If there's no obvious cause for your power outage, such as extreme weather, follow these steps to investigate:

1. Check with Your Neighbors
   Even if your home is without power, you can often text or knock on your neighbors' doors to see if they're experiencing the same issue.
2. Inspect Your Fuse Box
   If you can't reach your neighbors, and it appears other homes in the vicinity still have power, examine your fuse box to ensure your trip switch is in the 'on' position or to see if a specific appliance has blown a fuse.
