NYSEG outage information online

ROCHESTER -- Information on electricity interruptions across the New York State Electric & Gas service areas is now available online by clicking on Outage Central at the top of the company's home page.

While it may seem odd to think about having Web access when the power is out, more and more NYSEG customers are using wireless technology or may be reporting an outage at home from work or another location where the power is on, the company said in a news release.

The new sections of the Web sites provide up-to-the-minute information on electricity outages by town and street, storm tips and safety information.

In the event of extended outages, news releases and the locations of any emergency shelters and dry ice/water distribution sites are also posted at Outage Central.

Customers may also report electricity outages through Outage Central using their telephone number, account number or secure login ID.

And customers can report problems with streetlights using the online form at Outage Central.
