Outage Information
There’s a saying at Pee Dee Electric: “When the lights go out, so do we!” Crews work around the clock to restore power. Please read below to find out how you can help in the process and the order of a power restoration. You'll also find information showing how power is restored after a major outage.
If you have an outage, we are able to identify your location and dispatch crews to the correct area. However, if we don't have your correct phone number(s), the system will not be able to work properly. This could mean delays in restoring your power. Your help is needed to make sure our records remain up to date. Providing estimated restoration times and reduced outage duration averages due to prioritizing greatly improves member satisfaction.

What Can You Do? Compact Flourescent Lights (CFLs) are 70% more effective than incandescent bulbs and about $2 a piece. The paycheck is a few months.  |
Light Switch Quick Tips Take a look at the lights you burn. Consider these points:
|
Insulation Quick Tip Attics can be great sources of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Payback will vary depending on your region, but you'll usually recover the cost within two years. |
Window Quick Tips A considerable amount of heat transfers through windows. If you have single-pane windows, consider doing the following:
|
Air Infiltration Quick Tips Air that transfers in and out of homes through cracks, crevices and holes can increase energy consumption. Here are some helpful tips to avoid air infiltration.
|
Thermostat Quick Tip The average home will spend over $1,000 a year on heating and cooling. Programmable thermostats adjust the temperature in winter and in summer as well as during unoccupied hours. At a cost of $50 - $150 the payback can be seen in well under a year. |
