Austin Energy crews are responding to power outages throughout the area caused by the extremely high winds sweeping through the Austin area. All available crews are in service and working as quickly and safely as possible. Austin Energy is also bringing in additional crews to help work through the outages.

Strong winds can lead to broken tree limbs and damaged electrical equipment. This can cause local outages. As of 2:15 p.m., about 18,000 customers are affected. Additional outages may occur while high winds remain. Our crews are working 24/7 to restore power.

⚠️ Stay Safe Around Downed Power Lines ⚠️

Never touch anything or anyone in contact with a power line. When a live wire touches the ground, electricity fans out throughout the area. Stay at least 35 feet away from downed line and never use any object to move a downed wire.

Call 512-322-9100 to report a downed power line. If the line is sparking, call 911.

👉 Here's how you can report an outage:
📱 Text "Outage" to 287846
📍 Visit outagemap.austinenergy.com and click "Report Outage"
📞 Call 512-322-9100
