What should I do if my power is out in Texas?

Report the outage to your electric utility directly — most accept reports by phone, text, app, or website. Check your circuit breaker panel to rule out an internal issue. Stay safe by keeping 35+ feet from downed power lines, using flashlights instead of candles, and never running generators indoors. Check your utility's outage map for estimated restoration times.

Real-Time Tracker

Q: How many power outages are there in Texas right now?

As of May 4, 2026 1:00 PM UTC, there are 4,773 customers without power across 83 Texas counties. A total of 14,679,334 customers are tracked across 83 utilities statewide.

Q: Where does this outage data come from?

Our data comes from the U.S. Department of Energy's Eagle-I system, operated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, supplemented with direct feeds from El Paso Electric, SWEPCO, and Xcel/SPS. Eagle-I collects outage data from over 83 Texas utility outage management systems every 15 minutes, covering all 254 Texas counties and over 99% of all metered accounts.

Q: Who manages the Texas power grid?

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages the transmission grid and wholesale electricity market for approximately 90% of Texas. Local utilities like Oncor, CenterPoint, and AEP Texas own and maintain the distribution lines that bring power to homes and businesses. Some parts of Texas (mainly El Paso and parts of East Texas) are served by the Western and Eastern Interconnections rather than ERCOT.

Track power outages across all Texas utilities in real time. Data is sourced from the U.S. Department of Energy's Eagle-I system and supplementary utility feeds, covering 83+ utilities serving millions of customers across all 254 counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

As of May 4, 2026 1:00 PM UTC, there are 4,773 customers without power across 83 Texas counties. We track 14,679,334 customers across 83 utilities statewide — covering over 99% of all Texas metered accounts. This data is updated every 15 minutes from the DOE Eagle-I system and supplementary utility feeds, and auto-refreshes on this page every 5 minutes.

Our data comes from the U.S. Department of Energy's Eagle-I system (Environment for Analysis of Geo-Located Energy Information), operated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, supplemented with direct API feeds from El Paso Electric, SWEPCO, and Xcel/SPS. Eagle-I collects outage data directly from over 80 Texas utility outage management systems (OMS) every 15 minutes. This is the same data source used by FEMA for emergency response and by federal agencies for situational awareness.

Eagle-I collects data from utility outage management systems approximately every 15 minutes. Our page caches the latest data and auto-refreshes every 5 minutes to balance freshness with server performance. During major storm events, data may be updated more frequently by the source utilities.

We track 83+ electric utilities in Texas by combining DOE Eagle-I data with direct feeds from El Paso Electric, SWEPCO, and Xcel/SPS. This includes all major investor-owned utilities (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, Entergy Texas, TNMP), municipal utilities (Austin Energy, CPS Energy, Lubbock Power & Light, and others), and most electric cooperatives — covering all 254 Texas counties and over 99% of all Texas metered accounts.

1. Report it. Contact your electric utility directly — most accept outage reports by phone, text, app, or website. Reporting ensures your outage is logged for faster dispatch.

2. Check your breaker. Sometimes the issue is inside your home, not on the grid. Check your circuit breaker panel before calling.

3. Stay safe. Avoid downed power lines (stay 35+ feet away), use flashlights instead of candles, and never run generators indoors.

4. Stay informed. Check your utility's outage map (linked above) for estimated restoration times and follow local news for updates during severe weather.

Outage data counts metered customers (individual electric service accounts), not people. One "customer" is typically one household or business. The average Texas household has about 2.7 people, so 10,000 customers out may affect ~27,000 people. Commercial and industrial accounts are also counted as single "customers" regardless of how many people are inside.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages the flow of electric power to approximately 90% of Texas's electric load. ERCOT operates the transmission grid and wholesale electricity market but does not deliver power directly to customers. Local utilities like Oncor, CenterPoint, and AEP Texas own and maintain the distribution lines that bring power to your home — and they're the ones who restore outages. Some parts of Texas (mainly the El Paso area and parts of East Texas) are served by the Western and Eastern Interconnections rather than ERCOT.
