Our customers and thank our emergency management officials and the first respondents for all their hard work. “
Flood and scale damage
For customers who were immersed by the house or their business, Duke Energy cannot re -connect the energy until the electrical system is examined by licensed electricity. If there is damage, electricity will need to make repairs and to verify the authority to check the local buildings before restoring the energy.
If the meter box is withdrawn away from the customer’s home or mobile home service column and the energy is not received, then the owner of the house is responsible for contacting the electricity to re -connect the meter box and/or provide a permanent solution. In some cases, an electrical examination may be needed by the province before Duke Energy can reconnect the service. Electricity can advise customers in the following steps.
Low power lines are dangerous
Duke Energy mentions customers and the public by moving away from the electricity generation lines that have fallen or declined, and look at all power lines – trees and limbs or anything in contact with power lines – active and dangerous.
If the power line is located across a vehicle, then stay in the car. If you should get out of the car due to a fire or other direct situations that threaten life, try to jump from the car and fall on my feet. Make sure that there is no part of your body touching the car when you touch your feet.
Customers who use generators
If you use a generator at home to save energy until your service is restored, please monitor the facilities sets and turn off the generator when the crews are in your area. The electrical load on the electrical lines can be dangerous on the crews that make repairs. The extra electricity created by one of the generator can feed on the electrical lines, which leads to a severe line technician that may work on an electrical line, believing that its activation has been canceled.
Online power outages can be reported, through the Duke Energy Mobile application or by connecting to 800.228.8485.
The latest information about restoration efforts can be accessed by registration in interruption alerts.
