Outage Update for 3-31-22 (Afternoon)

3/31/2022

Progress has been made today in FLEC's power restorations. Efforts have been slowed due to the large number of broken poles that have required replacing and the widespread outage coverage area. Outages span across Monroe, Loudon, and Blount Counties. The outage totals as of this afternoon are approximately 1,300 (please note this total may vary from the outage viewer based on the mapping system).

Additional crews from contractors and neighboring utilities have arrived to assist in restoring the power. We cannot guarantee all power will be restored by morning but crews will be making every effort to do so. If you are still without power and have friends or family you may stay with overnight please make arrangements to do so.

If you have damage to your individual home or service entrance, those repairs will need to be made before FLEC will be able to reconnect your individual service. Please remember to report all outages through our automated outage management phone system (1-877-353-2674). Please do not report any outage via social media, due to efficiency and privacy concerns.

FLEC appreciates your continued patience as crews continue to make repairs and safely restore the power.
