Power outages by city in North Carolina

North Carolina compared with the rest of the US

ODIN utilities report 9,353 customers out nationwide right now, so North Carolina accounts for 1% of them. The most affected state is Washington with 5,096 out.

If your power is out

Report it to your utility first, by app, text or phone; your report is what puts your street on the map. Keep fridges and freezers closed (food stays cold for about 4 hours in a fridge and 48 hours in a full freezer), unplug sensitive electronics, never run a generator indoors, and treat any downed line as live.

Coverage and limits

ODIN only includes utilities that choose to publish to it. In North Carolina that is 24 utilities; customers of any other utility (city-owned systems, many co-ops and some large investor-owned utilities) can be out of power without appearing here. Check your own utility's outage map to be sure.

Outages are reported per county by each utility and refresh about every 5 minutes. Storms are the most common cause of large outages; planned maintenance shows up as small, scheduled outages.
