- Report the outage – call SRP or log in to SRP My Account™.
- Sign up for alerts – get real-time outage information and estimated restoration times.
- Power down – turn off lights and appliances to avoid a power surge when your power comes back on.

Why do outages happen?
Outages happen when equipment or power lines are damaged in weather or accidents. Power can also go out when wind blows items into power lines, such as tree branches, umbrellas and trampolines – or even a Mylar (metallic) balloon. Learn how to stay safe around power lines and keep power flowing.
Planned outages and power line maintenance
At SRP, we take power reliability seriously, which is why we conduct planned outages for routine inspections and system maintenance. By turning off the power during these times, it ensures the safety of our employees.
We do our best to minimize interruptions, but with more people working from home than ever before, it can be difficult to pick the best time of day. We always notify our customers before planned outages and minimize downtime as much as possible. To stay in the know, sign up for outage alerts.
