You can also find us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for updates on major outages.
When electricity goes out, most of us expect power will be restored within a few hours. But when a major storm causes widespread damage, longer outages may result. Oklahoma Electric Cooperative line crews work long, hard hours to restore service safely to the greatest number of consumers in the shortest time possible.
Transmission towers and cables that supply power to transmission substations (and thousands of members) rarely fail. But when damaged, these facilities must be repaired before other parts of the system can operate.
Each substation serves hundreds or thousands of consumers. When a major outage occurs, line crews inspect substations to determine if problems stem from transmission lines feeding into the substation, the substation itself, or if problems exist down the line.
If the problem cannot be isolated at a distribution substation, distribution lines are checked. These lines carry power to large groups of consumers in communities or housing developments.
OEC has taken great strides in the past five years to improve our infrastructure and help our linemen locate outages quickly, leading to decreased outage times for our members.”
If local outages persist, supply lines, called tap lines, are inspected. These lines deliver power to transformers, either mounted on poles or placed on pads for underground service, outside businesses, schools, and homes.
If your home remains without power, the service line between a transformer and your residence may need to be repaired. Report your power outage by calling (405) 321-2024 or by logging in to your account.
