Outage Mapping Features
The utility's outage map utilizes red pins to represent power interruptions, with the size of each pin indicating the number of customers impacted.

Users can select these clusters to view individual pins and specific outage summaries.
Reporting and Updates
Rocky Mountain Power noted that its outage map is typically updated every 15 minutes, though scheduled maintenance or unforeseen events may cause delays in these updates. The utility provides several ways for customers to receive assistance or updates, including a website, a mobile app, or by calling a toll-free number at 1-877-508-5088.
Safety and Reporting Procedures
To report an outage or check the status of an existing report, customers can use the "Report Outage / Check Status" button on the utility's website or text the word OUT to 759677. For emergencies involving downed power lines, the utility advises that individuals should never touch or go near a downed line and should call 1-877-508-5088.
Restoration Processes
The utility company stated that it aims to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, with crews working 24/7 during outages. While the company initially sets estimated restoration times to approximately three hours from the first report, these times are refined once crews arrive on the scene to assess the specific damage and required repairs. In cases of severe weather, restoration times may be listed as "Assessing" if crews cannot provide an accurate estimate due to the scale of damages.
Wildfire Safety Measures and Outages
Rocky Mountain Power also provides information regarding enhanced safety settings, which are implemented to prevent wildfires. These settings can lead to an increased potential for outages and may result in longer-than-typical restoration times as crews must patrol lines before power is restored. Additionally, emergency de-energization may occur during active wildfires, causing more frequent outages as wildfire risk increases.
