Same Information, Faster, Your Way
We are saying goodbye to old-school phone calls for planned power outages. Instead, we are informing you about upcoming planned outages through SmartHub! One of the many features of SmartHub is the ability to send alerts and notifications based on your preferences.
What is changing?
How members are notified about planned power outages.
What about unplanned power outages?
We will not use SmartHub alerts and notifications for unplanned power outages at this time. However, we are always committed to better serving our members and are exploring ways to expand our use of SmartHub alerts and notifications.
