Oregon: official power outage sources
Oregon has three investor-owned electric utilities, Portland General Electric, Pacific Power and Idaho Power, which the Oregon Public Utility Commission oversees. About 38 consumer-owned utilities, including cooperatives, people's utility districts and city systems such as EWEB, serve the rest of the state. The Bonneville Power Administration sells power wholesale to many of them but does not serve homes directly.

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 Oregon
- There is no single state-run outage map for Oregon, so check your own utility.
- Idaho Power's map does not show outages affecting fewer than 10 customers, so not being on the map does not mean your power is on.
- Co-op, people's utility district, city and tribal utility customers should check with their own provider.
- A shutoff notice or high-risk weather warning does not mean your power is out; your utility confirms actual outages.
