SWEPCO has adjusted restoration times to account for complex repairs and potential weather impacts. The current estimate is for 95 percent of all customers in the Monte Ne area and 95 percent of all customers West of U.S., Hwy 71 B in Rogers who can receive power may be restored by 10 p.m., Sunday, June 2, if weather permits. 

All remaining customers, who can receive power, should have power restored by 10 p.m. Friday, May 31.

  • Restoration times may extend further in isolated instances where extensive repairs are needed, or if weather prevents the crews from working safely.
  • Customers should remain weather aware as there are storms predicted throughout the week across SWEPCO’s entire three-state service territory.

SWEPCO connect power to a home

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.
