Power Restoration
Stay alert for hazards after your power is restored and know who to call if you find damage.
Focus on Safety

Some outages may damage electrical lines or meters. When it’s safe, assess damage around your home.

Who Takes Care of What

Repairs to the wire that runs from the utility pole to your house and the meter are OG&E’s responsibility. Repairs to the cable that runs down the side of your house and the box that holds the meter are your responsibility. Having a qualified electrician perform the repairs you're responsible for helps ensure we can restore your power quickly after an outage.

Storm Debris Cleanup

Following an act of nature, it’s your responsibility to dispose of tree debris. After our routine maintenance trimming, OG&E will dispose of tree debris.
