New Hampshire: 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 New Hampshire

• If your power comes from Ashland, Littleton, New Hampton, Wolfeboro or Woodsville, check with that system; the big utilities' maps do not cover you.
• Liberty Utilities customers should make sure they use the electric outage number, not the gas number.
• Community power programs and energy suppliers do not restore power; your delivery utility does.

The wider grid

Regional grid organizations and balancing areas that cover all or part of New Hampshire: ISO New England. 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
