New York: official power outage sources
Several large utilities deliver most of New York's electricity, including Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson, Orange and Rockland, and PSEG Long Island, which runs the Long Island Power Authority's system. New York also has 47 town and village electric systems and four rural electric cooperatives. The Department of Public Service oversees the investor-owned utilities and has a separate oversight role on Long Island.

If your power is out
- Stay away from downed lines and anything touching them. Call 911.
- 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.
- 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 York
- If your power comes from a village or city system, such as Freeport, Rockville Centre, Greenport, Jamestown or Massena, check with that system; PSEG Long Island's and other big utilities' maps do not cover you just because you live nearby.
- Rural cooperative members, such as those of Delaware County, Oneida-Madison, Otsego and Steuben Rural electric cooperatives, should check with their own co-op.
- RG&E customers should go to RG&E's own website; we have not yet confirmed a working outage link for it.
- A small part of Orange County is served by Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative, which is based in New Jersey.
The wider grid
Regional grid organizations and balancing areas that cover all or part of New York: NYISO; ISO New England (Fishers Island). 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
