Outage Info & Updates

Bent pole during service operations

If your power is interrupted, check your circuit breakers. If they’re OK, immediately call us at (541) 548-2144 during business hours and (866) 459-8651 during non-business hours. During an extended large outage, CEC personnel will make every effort to post information to our Outage Update blog below. Please check back often.

Typically, Central Electric posts information here only for major outages — characterized as a large number of members who are expected to be without power for an extended period.

When wishing to confirm whether CEC is aware of an outage, members should visit the Outage Map where all reported outages of any size are indicated, or visit the Mobile Outage Map when using a mobile device. It is important to phone in the report of your outage because this action triggers inclusion of your information in our Outage Management System and populates our Outage Map with the technical information about your location.
