If you are still without power, please let us know by calling 1-800-392-5986.  For prompt service, please locate the 6 digit number on your meter to report.  If you are unable to locate it, please know the telephone number and name associated with your account.

Below are our estimations for restoral times:

  *   The majority of Jasper, Panola, San Augustine and Shelby County (with the exception of the Huxley and Hurstown area) should be restored within 3-5 days.
  *   Sabine and Newton County (with the exception of those around Toledo Bend Lake) and those remaining in Shelby County (Huxley and Hurstown) should be restored within 7-10 days.
  *   Members around Toledo Bend Lake should be restored within 2 weeks.

Please keep in mind that these are estimates.  It is our goal to fulfill these estimates and our hope that we can provide power sooner than anticipated.

  *   If anyone in the home is dependent upon electricity for medical needs, it is advised that they seek an alternate location until power is restored.
  *   If you encounter a downed line, always consider it live and dangerous.  Do not get near the line or attempt to move or cut trees off the line. Please report all downed lines and outages by calling 1-800-392-5986.  For prompt reporting, please have the telephone and meter number associated with your account available.
