    Power Outages

    In the past five years, our power has been on 99.9% of the time! However, there are circumstances outside of our control such as weather and equipment failure that can cause power outages. If you experience an outage, take the following steps to ensure power will be restored to your home or business quickly and safely.

    Check your fuses and breakers in your switchbox panel.

    Report an outage to NVEC at (509) 634-4571 day or night. Please give your name, address, time of the outage and any unusual weather conditions. If the outage occurs outside the regular business hours (M-F 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) your call will forward to an answering service. An on-call employee will be paged to respond to your outage or emergency.

    STAY AWAY from downed power lines, trees entangled in lines and broken utility poles.
