When the lights go out, you can feel… powerless.

But OUC makes it easy to report your outage and stay informed about when power will be restored.

Always Report Outages

If you lose power, even during a storm, report your outage to OUC, even if your outage is displayed on OUC’s Outage Map. This helps the utility identify ALL customers impacted by an outage so power can be restored as safely and quickly as possible. (Learn what information OUC’s Outage Map provides and how to use it: How to Use OUC’s Outage Map to Stay Informed on Power Outages.

If your power is out, the cause could be an issue with your home that needs to be repaired and not an outage. Reporting your outage will help determine if this is the case.

There are three ways to report an outage:

  • Report via Text – Use your mobile device to text OUT to 69682 (myOUC). This automatically enrolls you to receive updates on your device about the outage cause and estimated restoration time.
  • Report Online – Log in to your myOUC account and click on “Outages & Service Problems” on the left-side menu. You can also check the status of an outage.
  • Report Via Phone – Call our 24-hour outage reporting line at (407) 423-9018. You can also get updates on restoration.
