If RGE responds and finds that the problem is with your electrical equipment, you will be billed for our service call.

Please remember: Stay away from downed power lines. Even lines that appear dead can be deadly. Also, stay out of flooded basements because energized wiring, outlets or natural gas service may pose a hazard.


how we restore service:

Our first priority is ensuring your safety. In the case of a large interruption, we first repair the main facilities (transmission lines, substations) that bring electricity to your neighborhood. Then we work on the local electricity system that includes poles and power lines along streets and roads. As part of this process, we take into account the needs of hospitals, nursing homes, fire and police stations. We also focus on our customers who depend on electrically-operated life support equipment. This is a time-proven process that ensures we safely restore your service as quickly and efficiently as possible.
