Current weather could slow restoration work as crew safety is a priority. Customers should remain weather aware as there are storms predicted throughout the week across SWEPCO’s service territory.
The latest data shows additional damage, and that number could continue to rise. SWEPCO crews remain undaunted and estimate 95% of customers who can receive power should be restored by 10 p.m. Friday.

Now is the time for customers to determine whether their home can receive power - SWEPCO cannot connect power to a home or business if there is damage to the service entrance, which is owned by the customer. Customers must have a licensed electrician repair damage before power can be restored.
They ask for their continued patience while the crews work as quickly and safely as possible. Please allow crews space to work and refrain from approaching them.
By the numbers
Currently, SWEPCO has restored service to more than 8,000 customers. Work continues to restore power to everyone. Estimated restoration time for 95 percent of those whose property can receive power is 10 p.m., Friday.
