Kansas: official power outage sources

If your power is out

1. Stay away from downed lines and anything touching them. Call 911.
2. Report it to your own utility. The name and outage phone number are on your electric bill. Do not assume a neighbor has reported it.
3. Check your utility's outage page for the area affected and any restoration estimate. Only your utility can give that estimate.

Good to know in Kansas

• Cooperative and city utility customers should check with their own provider; Evergy's and Liberty's maps do not cover them.
• In the Kansas City area, your provider may be the Board of Public Utilities or Evergy; check your bill.
• Some cooperatives and public power districts based in Nebraska, Colorado or Oklahoma serve parts of Kansas.
• Parts of western Kansas use Mountain time, so check the time zone on any outage update.

The wider grid

Regional grid organizations and balancing areas that cover all or part of Kansas: SPP. They balance supply and demand on the high-voltage system. Their alerts describe the regional system, not an outage on your street. How the pieces fit together
